Maxillomandibular defects may be the result of congenital malformations, trauma or surgical resection of tumors. The primary objective of rehabilitating these defects is to eliminate the disease by surgical resection and improve the quality of life for these individuals. Rehabilitating patients with maxillofacial defects is one of the most challenging therapies of the stomatognathic system.Prosthetic reconstruction of these defects may be achieved with the help of varied prosthesis, removable and fixed. The present case report describes a case of a large dentigerous cyst managed with a surgical obturator which allowed closure of the defect by secondary healing through granulation tissue maturation and associated bone fill. The obturator allowed decrease in size of defect and enhanced comfort and overall well-being of the patient till the complete filling of bone and till some permanent prosthesis is provided.

Abstract


Maxillomandibular defects may be the result of congenital malformations, trauma or surgical resection of tumors. The primary objective of rehabilitating these defects is to eliminate the disease by surgical resection and improve the quality of life for these individuals. Rehabilitating patients with maxillofacial defects is one of the most challenging therapies of the stomatognathic system.Prosthetic reconstruction of these defects may be achieved with the help of varied prosthesis, removable and fixed. The present case report describes a case of a large dentigerous cyst managed with a surgical obturator which allowed closure of the defect by secondary healing through granulation tissue maturation and associated bone fill. The obturator allowed decrease in size of defect and enhanced comfort and overall well-being of the patient till the complete filling of bone and till some permanent prosthesis is provided.
