Abstract: Resection of the maxilla often results in severe functional, aesthetic, and psychological sequelae. This loss of substance creates breaches that can extend throughout the palatal vault, affecting the maxillary sinus, the nasal cavities, the floor of the orbit, and even the orbital cavities. The prosthetic management of these patients is in fact a complex task involving several immediate, secondary, and definitive stages. The transition from one stage to the next depends on a number of factors, including the post-surgical follow-up and the stage of healing. This article discusses, through a case report, the importance of the immediate obturator in preventing post-operative complications and its role in protecting the surgical site during the initial healing period.
