A maxillary obturator for a cocaine induced oronasal defect

We describe the history of a 49-year-old male patient with an extensive palatal perforation caused by chronic use of cocaine. To solve his oronasal reflux and speech problems, a removable maxillary obturator was constructed. A review of similar cases and management strategies is also provided. Key words: Cocaine, palatal perforation, obturator, oronasal fistula
