Abstract

The article describes a clinical and laboratory technique for the fabrication of a feeding obturator for a baby with Pierre Robin sequence. Emphasis is placed on the direct fabrication of a preliminary custom tray, preventing thermal trauma to the tissues, and overcoming the danger of airway obstruction or foreign body aspiration. The functional problems associated with a cleft palate and various methods to overcome them are also discussed.
