Abstract
An interim obturator acts as a bridge between surgical and definitive phases of treatment of a maxillectomy patient. Apart from restoring the functions of speech and deglutition, it has a great psychological benefit to the patient in regaining social acceptance. [1] For the success of a obturator it should cover maximum supporting area, utilizing all the favourable undercuts and utilizing the remaining teeth and reduction of the weight of the obturator is important. [2] This case report describes a modified technique for fabricating an overdenture with closed hollow bulb obturator.
