Implants in mandibular resection.
This clinical report presents a method of satisfactorily restoring a patient with a Class V mandibular defect. Conventional restoration of this patient would have consisted of a soft tissue-supported prosthesis with its inherent instability and associated problems. The use of implants has provided stability and function unobtainable with conventional prosthesis for this patient.
