Treatment of hemi-mandibulectomy defect with implant-supported telescopic removable prosthesis: A clinical report

Abstract

Excision of head and neck tumors (benign or malignant) often leads to large segmental resections of the mandible. The following clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a 60-year-old Caucasian man after partial mandibulectomy due to primary oral leiomyosarcoma. Treatment consisted of a free fibula flap and an implant-supported telescopic removable prosthesis. © 2013 by the American College of Prosthodontists.
