  • Title: Prosthetic rehabilitation of an edentulous patient with an oronasal fistula.
    Author: Law MY, Chung RW, Lam OL.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2015 Apr; 113(4):347-9. PubMed ID: 25681354.
    Abstract:
    The presence of an oronasal fistula presents a challenge to maxillary complete denture fabrication because leakage of air from the nasal cavity through the fistula prevents the formation of an adequate border seal. Although surgical repair or dental implants are possible solutions, these options are invasive and sometimes not feasible. This clinical report illustrates an alternative prosthetic solution by integrating a small retentive component into a maxillary complete denture.
