AI Article Synopsis
- Combining hard and soft palate defects in prosthetic rehabilitation is tough due to challenges with traditional impression methods and patient discomfort.
- Conventional materials for obturator prostheses struggle with sealing and retention, which can affect their effectiveness.
- The article highlights a successful case where digital intraoral impressions and soft reline materials provided a quicker and more efficient solution for reconstructing these defects.
Article Abstract
It remains a significant challenge in prosthetic rehabilitation for combined hard and soft palate defects on account of two primary reasons. At first, conventional impressions can hardly get an accurate analogue and usually bring about a terrible experience for the patients. Secondly, conventional hard denture base resins used in obturator prostheses exhibit limitations in marginal sealing, undercut retention, and elastic buffering when in contact with the soft palate. This article presents a case where combined hard and soft palate defects were successfully and rapidly reconstructed by using digital intraoral impression technology and denture soft reline material.
