Palate Replacement Device for Mouth Opening

A surgical obturator prosthesis is a specially molded device used to block a surgically created opening, such as from removal of the palate, the roof of the mouth. The provider applies a substance that conforms to the patient’s intraoral structures in order to form an impression, or negative imprint, from which a mold will be built. A prosthesis to replace a palate, for example, restores the ability of the patient to speak and swallow. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
