1997 Judson C. Hickey Scientific Writing Awards. Lip prosthesis retained with resin-bonded retentive elements as an option for the restoration of labial defects: a clinical report.
Surgical resection of the lips is a relatively uncommon procedure, and it usually presents surgical and prosthodontic rehabilitation challenges. The goals of prosthetic treatment include regaining favorable speech and restoration of esthetics. This clinical report described a method for fabricating a lip prosthesis that uses resin-bonded retentive elements bonded to the patient's teeth for retention. Clinical and laboratory procedures of the prosthetic treatment were described, and the advantages and disadvantages were reviewed.
