Abstract

Discipline of Prosthodontics plays a dominant role in oral rehabilitation by using advanced techniques to recreate and integrate artificial replacements of the mouth. Its scope extends beyond dental replacements to encompass a range of extra-oral applications such as ocular, auricular and nasal prostheses, including stents to position grafts in place for surgical reconstruction. Vaginal stents are crucial for reconstructing and maintaining neovaginas in patients with vaginal agenesis. This case report presents an approach of fabricating a customized resilient aid using heat-cured silicone-based soft liner (Molloplast B). This approach is minimally invasive and an effective alternative for treating such situations.
