This report describes a different approach for diminishing the movements of orbital prosthesis during mimic movements and chewing function. Mechanical devices such as magnets are used to enhance the retention in case lack of the implants. However rigid fixation of obturator and orbital prosthesis can result in movements of the orbital prosthesis during mastication.

Obturators are routinely used in the rehabilitation of maxillectomy defects. Ideally, obturators should be easily constructed to produce a comfortable and stable prosthesis. This article describes a technique that provides an easy method for the construction of an obturator prosthesis using a visible light-cured (VLC) resin.
