Modified flasking technique for processing a maxillary resection obturatorwith continuous pressure injection

It is not possible for the wax pattern of most large-volume maxillary resec tion obturators to be placed into a flask for conventional compression mold ing processing and positioning of the wax pattern. However, these wax patte rns and their channel access design often can be modified and aligned in po sition for processing with the continuous pressure injection technique. Thi s article describes the use of the continuous pressure injection technique to process the perpendicularly aligned wax pattern of a maxillary resection obturator. It also describes a modified channel design and a simple method to pull back the injection funnel to increase the volume of the flask.
