| Summary: | The Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome is most commonly associated with vaginal agenesis, a congenital anomaly of the female genital tract. To correct vaginal agenesis, a neovaginal cavity between the bladder and the rectum must be formed. Following surgical reconstruction of the vaginal space, a long-term vaginal stent is required to maintain vaginal width and depth while preventing contraction. This case report describes a novel technique for managing the postsurgical condition of a 22-year-old female patient diagnosed with MRKH syndrome referred to the Department of Prosthodontics for a custom-made heat-cure acrylic Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) vaginal stent fabricated by a Maxillofacial Prosthodontist. |
