The clinical and laboratory procedures for fabricating a neonatal feeding obturator requiring only a single impression followed by relining of the plate are described. The technique involves the use of a specific custom tray and polysiloxane putty for the impression, autopolymerizing acrylic resin for the plate, and a soft liner for the relining procedure. In over a decade, an obturator plate applied with this technique in 81 newborns with cleft palate has obtained good nutritional and functional results.

The technique involves the use of a specific custom tray and polysiloxane putty for the impression, autopolymerizing acrylic resin for the plate, and a soft liner for the relining procedure. In over a decade, an obturator plate applied with this technique in 81 newborns with cleft palate has obtained good nutritional and functional results.File in questo prodotto:
