Evaluation of Patient Satisfaction After the Construction of Maxillary Obturator Prosthesis for Limited Mouth Opening in Maxillofacial Cases : Cross Over Randomized Clinical Trial
Sponsor: Mansoura University
Summary
A patient's quality of life is frequently negatively impacted by oral cancer, which is a serious condition. Treatment for oral cancer, which includes radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, can result in several oral complications. The risk of impression material becoming lodged in undercuts and the challenges in retrieving the material would be inconvenient for both the patient and the dentist. Therefore, a digital pathway was chosen for the prosthesis fabrication process So, the present study aims to investigate the patient comfort and satisfaction after the construction of maxillary interim obturator for radiation-induced trismus in maxillofacial cases with different approaches: conventional and digital fabrication processes.

The patient will be instructed about wearing the prosthesis. First, seat the prosthesis in a posterior undercut, then rotate the prosthesis slightly superiorly in the defect area and engage the anteri
* The obturator will then be printed using Denture Base Resin and teeth. * The printed obturator will be tried in, two magnets, one anteriorly and another posteriorly will be picked up then inserted into the patient mouth. * The patient will be again instructed regarding the care of the prosthesis and hygiene maintenance as formerly. The patient will also be instructed to wear the obturator plate first, and once this is comfortably seated, the denture part will be inserted. During removal, the patient will be instructed to first remove the denture part gently to disengage the magnetic attraction after the obturator part as formerly instructed. The patient will be recalle
