Abstrakt: A technique for fabrication of an interim obturator has been described in which the palatal and arch form can be reproduced with relative accuracy. The duplication aids in rehabilitation of the patient, because an environment for the tongue similar to the preoperative environment may simplify speech and deglutition (Fig. 7). In addition, the technique permits replacement of anterior teeth in the same position and of the same size and shape as were present preoperatively (Fig. 8). The technique is also more economic because of the time saved, the ease of the procedure, and the use of duplicated teeth.
