title: [Closure of septum perforation using an individual obturator].
abstract: Alternatively to operative procedures we present the production of an individually formed septal obturator to close an iatrogenic septal perforation. After taking the impression from the perforation the obturator was casted out of silicone via a plaster mould. This possibility can help in those cases where septal perforation cannot be closed by operative procedures.
