This case report describes an innovative technique to rehabilitate a patient with a large palatal defect and excessive vertical height . The challenges in such cases are the increased height and weight of the prosthesis resulting into loss of retention and difficulty in insertion if made in the conventional method of one piece hollow bulb obturator prosthesis. To overcome this, a two piece hollow bulb with hollow denture prosthesis attached by magnets at the junction of bulb with denture base and occlusal part was fabricated.
