Prosthodontic rehabilitation of marginal mandibulectomy defect using conventional cast partial denture- A Case Report

Chanchal Gupta, Ruchi Raj

Abstract :

Marginal mandibulectomy leads to a dento–alveolar defect preserving mandibular continuity and covered by unusual soft tissue. Successful rehabilitation of these patients depends on strategic treatment planning and selection of most suitable treatment modality. Although various surgical and implant procedures have been suggested for the rehabilitation of these defects, but these complex procedures are not possible in all cases due to limiting factors. A conventional removable prosthesis is the most commonly used treatment option for such cases. This case report describes the management of a patient with right marginal mandibular resection rehabilitated with conventional cast partial dentures.
