title: Prosthodontic implant rehabilitation after the treatment of a pathologic lesion in the mandible: a case report.
abstract: A case is reported of an extensive ossifying fibroma involving the mandible and its successful rehabilitation by using an osseointegrated implant. The lesion was enucleated under general anesthesia along with involved teeth Nos. 35, 36, 37, and 38. Regular radiographic follow-up showed complete bone healing within the period of two years. A free-end saddle removable partial denture was avoided by the appropriate use of root-form implants.
