The interdisciplinary management of a Class II division 1 malocclusion with an associated mandibular defect following surgical excision of fibromatosis: a clinical report.
Surgical excision of malignant or nonmalignant tumors of the maxillofacial region can result in significant anatomical loss/compromise. Correction of the residual defect can be complicated by the presence of an underlying malocclusion and can be a significant clinical challenge if large numbers of teeth have been lost in surgery. This clinical report discusses the interdisciplinary treatment to rehabilitate a patient with a history of surgical removal of fibromatosis. Treatment involved the use of osseointegrated implants to facilitate orthodontic correction of an underlying malocclusion. The implants were subsequently used in the prosthodontic rehabilitation of the residual surgical defect.
