Modified Technique of Resection Denture Prosthesis Fabrication for a Patient with Segmental Mandibulectomy - A Case Report

Abstract - The rehabilitation of patients following maxillary & mandibular resection is challenging. A prosthesis supported with dental implants is often the treatment of choice, but implants cannot be used predictably in all clinical situations. A tissue supported post resection denture is usually the most acceptable treatment option left in these situations. This case report describes management of a patient who had undergone segmental mandibulectomy & subsequently rehabilitated with resection denture prosthesis. Conventional treatment planning was modified at various stages of fabrication to improve the quality of the final prosthesis.
