“…Techniques involving alterations through grinding of unwanted areas of the bulb were first described to reduce the weight [8]. Materials such as sugar, salt, ice, soap, caramel, Styrofoam and a wax-bolus have been documented as contents used to hollow-out the defect and subsequently dissolve or retrieve [9]- [11]. These methods are believed to be associated with an inadequate seal and chances of possible contamination.…”

An obturator prosthesis functions to obliterate a congenital or acquired maxillary defect. This article documents the prosthetic rehabilitation of a maxillectomy defect due to post-COVID mucormycosis using a one-piece closed hollow-bulb interim obturator. The technique involves fabricating a thermoform resin shell from a putty index of the defect as the hollowing method. The processes involved in this technique ensure a light-weight prosthesis in an economical and less technique-sensitive way. However, more research is warranted to study the properties of thermo-form resins and their integrity maintained in the processing cycle.

This case report presents a closed hollow bulb obturator made by 3D printing for a maxillectomy patient. Final impression was taken according to the instructions and impression trays provided by the Magic denture TM system. Vertical dimension, facial appearance, and retention had been checked with the try-in denture. The try-in denture was corrected and adjusted to fulfill the demand of the patients, then these were reflected to the final design of the denture. The defect area was designed as a closed hollow bulb shape to reduce the weight and to provide uniform thickness of the denture. The patient satisfied with the esthetics and function of the denture.
