Before the operation, impression is carried out first on the maxillary area using algi-nate. The obturator shape is created by optimizing the retention of the remaining anatomical structures, creating de-signs on the model, creating clasp retention using wire 0.8, processing with acrylic, followed by postoperative obtu-rator insertion. It is concluded that surgical obturator can be used as post hemimaxillectomy rehabilitation.
