An alternative method for fabricating a closed hollow obturator : a clinical report

Abstract

This article describes a procedure in which the fabrication of a closed hollow obturator can be made with three sections of a denture flask by using silicone. Ease of fabrication while controlling the thickness of the hollow portion and eliminating leakage and discoloration are major advantages of this technique while minimizing laboratory and clinical appointment time.
