Velopharyngeal obturator in partially edentulous patient

Congenital large intraoral defects are amenable to prosthodontic rehabilitation as surgical procedure alone cannot restore the function of residual palatal tissues. This study presents the case report of a partially edentulous patient with congenital cleft palate (Veau's Class III). The procedure for fabrication of definitive velopharyngeal obturator attached to conventional removable partial denture is described.
