Most common problems faced by a patient with resected maxilla are reduced retention, support, and stability. A successful prosthesis should meet the physiological, psychological, and aesthetic needs of the patient. This article describes the procedure for the rehabilitation of hemimaxillectomy patient with one-piece hollow obturator using simple technique, reducing laboratory time.
