It's kind of hard to say which model is most reliable. Taken care of properly, they'll all hold true. But there are some models more prone to certain things (subframe, etc) than others, but again, the main thing is how well it was looked after by the person before you.
obÂ·tuÂ·raÂ·tor forÂ·aÂ·men. A large, oval or irregularly triangular aperture in the hip bone, the margins of which are formed by the pubis and the ischium; it is closed by the obturator membrane, except for a small opening for the passage of the obturator vessels and nerve. Synonym(s): foramen obturatum [TA] .
A palatal obturator is a prosthesis that totally occludes an opening such as an oronasal fistula (in the roof of the mouth). They are similar to dental retainers, but without the front wire. palatal obturator may be used in cases of a deficiency in tissue, when a remaining opening in the palate occurs. In some cases it may be downsized gradually so that tissue can strengthen over time and compensate for the decreasing size of the obturator.
