What is the most appropriate prosthetic choice for the patient who has had ablative surgery for oral cancer?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A speech bulb obturator is the most appropriate prosthetic choice for a patient who has had ablative surgery for oral cancer as it can restore speech and also provide support for the remaining structures in the oral cavity. Palatal lift and quad helix are not appropriate for this condition and dentures may not have adequate support due to the loss of underlying bone and tissues. Head gear is not a prosthetic option for this condition.
