| Summary: | Surgical treatment of malignancies in the oral cavity (mandible, tongue, floor of the mouth, alveolus, buccal sulcus) often results in an
unfavourable anatomic condition for prosthodontic rehabilitation. Hence, maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation becomes a mightier task
when resection is accompanied by radiation therapy. In selected cases, implant therapy comes to rescue. The following report throws
light on the case of prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient who underwent right marginal mandibulectomy and right partial glossectomy,
with the aid of a single implant, semi precision attachment and magnet supported partial denture. |
