Three-Dimensional Printing: A Novel Approach to the Creation of Obturator Prostheses Following Palatal Resection for Malignant Palate Tumors.

Background: A subgroup of patients who have an oronasal fistula live in areas that have limited access to oral prosthetics. For these individuals, a temporary prosthesis, such as a palatal obturator, may be necessary in order to speak, eat, and breath properly. The creation of an obturator, which requires a highly trained prosthodontist, can take time and can be expensive.

Pai syndrome (median cleft palate, cutaneous nasal polyp, and midline lipoma of the corpus callosum): a case report and literature review.

In this article, we describe a patient with Pai syndrome. This infant was born with an unusual median cleft of the upper lip, a pedunculated cutaneous mass that protruded from the right nostril, double frenulum of the upper lip, and median alveolar cleft. MRI showed a midline corpus callosal lipoma.
