Customised Flask for Maxillofacial Prosthesis- A Novel Approach

Abstract

Processing wax pattern to fabricate obturators for a large-sized maxillary resection by employing compression molding technique through a conventional flask is a difficult task. To overcome this, a customized flask has been introduced which could accommodate large wax patterns and allow polymerization of the acrylic resin by following conventional flasking and packing techniques. It is a straightforward approach and an economical way to process the prosthesis.
