Abstract
Patient: A 73-year-old male patient diagnosed as left maxillary cancer was referred to our prosthodontic clinic by an oral surgeon before oral surgery. An early post-operative maxillary denture for a defective jaw was fabricated 15 days after the surgery, and the final maxillary denture for the defective jaw was fabricated 12 months after surgery. However, because there was a liquid flow into the nasal cavity, the obturator was improved by dynamic impression and indirect relining.
Discussion: The technique of improving the sealing ability of the obturator by dynamic impression and indirect relining was useful for blocking the liquid flow into the nasal cavity.
Conclusion: Liquid flow into the nasal cavity was improved by dynamic impression and indirect relining. As a result, patient satisfaction was obtained.
