title: Prosthetic rehabilitation of a mandibular gunshot defect with an implant-supported fixed partial denture: a clinical report.
abstract: This report describes the clinical evaluation of a patient with a mandibular gunshot defect and the prosthodontic treatment with an implant-supported screw-retained fixed partial denture.

Despite the implant malposition limitations, the esthetic and functional demands of the patient were fullfilled.
