Abstract
A technique for making final impressions, registration of jaw relations, and positioning of anterior teeth with the same record bases during the fabrication of an obturator prosthesis is described. By using this technique, a more predictable result may be attained with respect to jaw relations, obturator height, and lip position, all of which may be compromised in the edentulous patient with a postsurgical maxillary defect.
