Prosthodontic management of acquired partial mandibulectomy discontinuity defects: a clinical report.
Prosthetic rehabilitation of partial mandibulectomy defects without bony reconstruction is rarely presented. An in-depth understanding of the surgical and conventional prosthodontic principles is essential for prosthetic rehabilitation in this unique group of patients. Often, the application of modified prosthodontic principles is needed and success is not always possible. A clinical report is presented in this article.
