Abstract

Surgical obturator and interim obturators are fabricated before the surgical intervention in usual scenario to avoid the difficulties faced during impressions in open surgical wound. This case report describes the fabrication of interim obturator in a child patient aged 9-year-old reported with an open wound after marsupialization. Various challenges were faced starting from the clinical examination till insertion of the appliance such as complex anatomy of the defect, making an accurate impression of an open surgical wound and behavior. Technique of Cryoanalgesia (2-4 degree Celsius) was followed throughout the impression procedure. A helical spring incorporated interim acrylic resin obturator was fabricated. Considerable healing of soft tissue was seen at the end of 1 month and bony healing was observed at the end of 3 months follow up. This case documents the role of obturator in early healing of the lesion as well as the management of challenges that are faced during the procedure in such unique case.
