Abstract	Immediate obturation of the patient undergoing maxillectomy who is not undergoing formal autologous reconstruction is important for immediate form and function of the patient. Exophytic tumors, that are large in dimension can make pre-operative obturator formation challenging. Traditional methods of obturator fabrication involve a physical or digital impression. Preoperative virtual surgical planning for tumor resection and reconstruction using free tissue transfer has become a mainstay in head and neck reconstruction. We describe a variation of this for a patient unable to undergo free tissue transfer where the authors used preoperative virtual surgical planning and CAD/CAM technologies to perform tumor resection, and fabricated an obturator based on the CT imaging alone.
