These maxillary defects affect the quality of life of patients as it leads to functional impairments such as fluid leakage, nasal twang, nasal regurgitation and compromised mastication. Obturator prosthesis establishes the functional separation between nasal and oral cavities which not only provides improvement in speech and resonance but also in masticatory capabilities. This case reports explains the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a 63 year old completely edentulous male patient who had undergone surgical resection for squamous cell carcinoma of upper right alveolus followed by radiotherapy. Modified denture insertion technique was used to accommodate reduced mouth opening following surgical resection. Fabrication of hollow bulb Functional Obturator was done using Heat cured silicone soft liner for better retention and patient compliance.
