Assistive Product Obturator

Product Type:

Palatal closure plate

Description:

Obturators are plastic bodies designed to close a maxillary defect that cannot be covered with the body's own tissue. These obturators can be the size of a cut tennis ball. If they are made entirely of plastic, they are firstly very heavy, secondly difficult to insert into the oral cavity and the defect and thirdly, after a while they soak up saliva and become unhygienic. A so-called split hollow obturator provides a remedy. A half-shell is fabricated for this purpose, which is coupled to the denture base (as a cover) using spherical magnets. The prosthesis is then anchored to the remaining teeth or implants.

If the eye area (orbit), see reference number EP/00011 cheek or nose also needs to be replaced by an epithesis, the obturator can also be attached to it. Depending on the size of the defect, two or more magnets are used for coupling. A nasal epithesis replaces part of the nose or the entire nose. The artificial nose is made of medical silicone. It is shaped in such a way that it appears like a natural nose. The nose moves with mimic movements.
