Fabrication of conventional complete dentures for a left segmental mandibulectomy patient: A clinical report☆☆☆★★★♢

School of Dentistry, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan

Abstract 

Without preprosthetic reconstructive surgery, denture fabrication for mandibulectomy patients becomes extremely difficult. Implant-assisted overdentures may improve denture retention and stability, but some patients cannot afford this treatment. For the segmental mandibulectomy patient described in this report, properly fabricated conventional complete dentures provided comfort and sufficient function. (J Prosthet Dent 2001;86:582-5.)
