Obturators play a crucial role not only in restoring function and aesthetics but also in aiding patient reintegration into society. They facilitate physical and social rehabilitation by improving speech quality and preventing the leakage of liquids. For an edentulous patient, the absence of mechanical retention makes the stability of the obturator prosthesis even more essential. This case report outlines the treatment of a partial soft palate defect and the associated velopharyngeal insufficiency using a velopharyngeal prosthesis.
