Palatal Obturator
The term Palatal refers to the palate, which is the roof of the mouth. It separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity and plays an important role in speech, swallowing, and chewing. The palate is divided into two parts : Hard Palate – The bony front portion of the roof of the mouth. Soft Palate – The soft tissue area at the back of the mouth. In dentistry, the term “palatal” is commonly used to describe the inner surface of upper teeth (the side facing the palate). Various dental procedures may involve the palatal area, including palatal grafts, palatal expanders, prosthodontic designs, and certain surgical treatments. Proper care of the palatal region is important for maintaining oral health, especially in orthodontic, periodontal, and prosthodontic treatments.
Bite Flange
A Bite Flange is a specially designed component used in certain removable dentures and prosthetic appliances to improve stability, retention, and proper bite alignment. It extends into the vestibular or surrounding soft tissue areas to provide additional support and balance during chewing and speaking. Bite flanges help distribute chewing forces evenly across the denture base, reducing pressure on specific areas of the gums. This enhances comfort and minimizes movement of the denture while eating or talking. With precise customization and proper fitting, bite flanges contribute significantly to the comfort, function, and long-term success of removable dental prostheses.
Functional Softpalate Replacement
Functional Soft Palate Replacement is a specialized prosthodontic treatment designed to restore speech, swallowing, and normal oral function in patients who have defects or loss of the soft palate. Such conditions may occur due to congenital abnormalities, trauma, infections, or surgical removal following oral cancer treatment. The soft palate plays a crucial role in separating the oral and nasal cavities during speech and swallowing. When it is damaged or missing, patients may experience nasal speech, difficulty swallowing, and leakage of food or liquids into the nasal cavity. A custom-made prosthetic appliance, often called a speech bulb or palatal obturator, is carefully designed to replace the missing soft palate structure.
Eye Prosthesis
An Eye Prosthesis is a custom-made artificial eye designed to restore facial appearance and confidence after the loss or removal of a natural eye due to trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. While it does not restore vision, it significantly improves aesthetics and helps maintain the natural contour of the face. Each eye prosthesis is individually crafted to closely match the color, size, shape, and detailing of the patient’s natural eye. Advanced techniques are used to ensure a lifelike appearance and comfortable fit within the eye socket. The prosthesis supports eyelid function, maintains facial symmetry, and prevents tissue shrinkage within the socket. It is designed for easy removal and cleaning, ensuring proper hygiene and long-term comfort. With precise customization and professional care, an eye prosthesis helps restore confidence, enhance facial harmony, and improve overall quality of life.
Ear Prosthesis
An Ear Prosthesis is a custom-made artificial ear designed to restore the natural appearance of the ear for individuals who have lost it due to trauma, cancer surgery, burns, or congenital conditions. Although it does not restore hearing function, it significantly improves facial symmetry, aesthetics, and self-confidence. Each ear prosthesis is meticulously crafted to match the patient’s skin tone, texture, size, and shape for a lifelike and natural appearance. Advanced materials such as medical-grade silicone are used to ensure flexibility, comfort, and durability. The prosthesis can be retained using medical adhesives or implant-supported attachments for enhanced stability and secure positioning. It is designed for easy placement and removal, allowing proper hygiene and maintenance.
Nose Prosthesis
A Nose Prosthesis is a custom-made artificial nasal structure designed to restore facial appearance after partial or complete loss of the nose due to trauma, cancer surgery, infection, or congenital conditions. While it does not restore the sense of smell, it plays a vital role in improving facial symmetry, aesthetics, and emotional well-being. Each nasal prosthesis is carefully fabricated to match the patient’s skin tone, contour, texture, and facial features for a highly natural and lifelike appearance. Medical-grade silicone materials are commonly used to provide flexibility, durability, and comfort. The prosthesis may be retained using skin-safe medical adhesives or implant-supported attachments for enhanced stability and secure fit. It is designed for easy placement, removal, and maintenance, ensuring proper hygiene and long-term comfort.
Facial Prosthesis
A Facial Prosthesis is a custom-designed artificial restoration created to replace missing or damaged facial structures caused by trauma, cancer surgery, congenital defects, or severe infections. It plays a crucial role in restoring facial symmetry, natural appearance, and emotional confidence. Facial prostheses may include replacements for areas such as the nose, ear, eye, or other facial components. Each prosthesis is individually crafted using advanced techniques and medical-grade materials like silicone to closely match the patient’s skin tone, texture, and anatomical features for a lifelike result. Depending on the case, the prosthesis can be retained using medical adhesives or implant-supported attachments to ensure stability and comfort. These restorations are carefully designed for easy placement, removal, and hygiene maintenance.
