A Simple Technique to Fabricate Custom Made Occlusal Plane Template.

The plane of occlusion represents the average curvature of the occlusal surfaces of anterior and posterior teeth rather than a flat surface. An anteroposterior curve, the curve of Spee and the mediolateral curve, the curve of Wilson determine the position of posterior teeth. Management of patients with uneven occlusal plane is an essential step for the long term success of the treatment.

A simple technique to fabricate a surgical obturator restoring the defect in original anatomical form.

Oral cancer treatment involves the surgical removal of all or part of the maxilla, leaving the patient with a defect that compromises the integrity and function of the oral cavity. The postoperative restoration of esthetics, deglutition, and speech shortens recovery time in the hospital and expedites the patient's return to the community as a functioning member. The surgical obturator is the proven treatment option in such situations.
