What this trial studies

This clinical trial is a randomized controlled trial that evaluates patient satisfaction and the health of abutment teeth in patients who have undergone hemi maxillectomy. Participants will be rehabilitated using two types of obturators: one made with laser polished CAD CAM technology and the other constructed using conventional methods. The study aims to determine which obturator type provides better outcomes in terms of patient comfort and dental health. By comparing these two approaches, the trial seeks to enhance rehabilitation strategies for maxillectomy patients.
