Abstract

Background: The  fabrication of  immediate surgical obturator is known for that the appliance is placed immediate after the surgical procedure. Nevertheless, its design and the material used has not been given much consideration owing to a short duration of usage. However  utilization of a immediate surgical obturator has a long-term effect on the patient's tissues and if not fabricated using an appropriate technique and material, the obturator could itself may result in deleterious biological as well as psychological effects on the patient.

Case report: This case report sheds light on suggesting a modification in new material and technique which attempts to obturate the open eradicate or diminish the deleterious effects. This in turn could bring about a more aesthetic outcome, improving the overall quality of life of the patient in the long run.
