Hi, I was a dentist and making a denture which includes a blockage for a hole in the palate is not unusual. If it is just to block the hole, without any teeth, as is often the case with people with a cleft palate, it's known as an "obturator". However, one might ask how the doctors let his GPA get to the stage where the palate became perforated!

thank you john, good question robert was diagnose GPA after suffering for to many years until the general doctor gave up and sent him to a ETN; this was just 3 years ago :(
