Simplified technique for the fabrication of a hollow obturator prosthesis using vinyl polysiloxane.
A technique in the fabrication of a heat-cured acrylic resin transitional maxillary obturator using vinyl polysiloxane putty instead of wax is demonstrated. The putty allows a decrease in the time of fabrication in both the pattern and the processing stage of the prosthesis.
