The management of adult completely edentulous patients with cleft palate, especially in whom, surgical intervention is not carried out pose a significant challenge to the prosthodontist. The overall goal of rehabilitating such individuals is focussed on improving acceptable speech, appearance, proper occlusion and masticatory function. This article describes the prosthetic rehabilitation of a cleft palate patient using an unconventional complete denture with a palatal obturator. Additionally, neutral zone impression technique for the resorbed mandibular arch and recording of palatogram was also done.
