Immediate temporary or permanent rehabilitation of maxillary defect can be achieved by the fabrication of obturator prosthesis. Retentive components such as clasps can be used with conventional obturator for the treatment of most of the maxillary defects. The primary goal of prosthetic rehabilitation is closure of the defect. Separation of the oral cavity from the sino-nasal cavities prevents hyper-nasal speech and liquid leakage into the nasal cavity. This case report describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary defect with an obturator prosthesis using clasps as retention components and tissue surface relining by using soft liner which provided a great degree of comfort to the patient. Goal of this case report is to outline basics of treatment planning of hard and soft palate defect keeping in consideration the patients comfort, less cumbersome clinical & lab procedures, economic and faster delivery time.
