Prosthetic Rehabilitation of a Patient with Ameloblastoma using an Unconventional Cast Partial Denture

Abstract

suggested to the patient however due to financial constraints, the patient opted to carry out the rehabilitation with a cost effective, conventional method. The conventional cast partial denture (CPD) needed to be modified to account for the absence of the vestibular sulcus. Treatment ProcedurePreprosthetic treatment included the surgical removal of the torus mandibularis as it would hinder the path of placement and removal of the cast partial denture. Diagnostic impressions were made and diagnostic casts were obtained .The diagnostic cast was surveyed to identify the most desirable path of placement with minimal interferences, distinguish proximal surfaces which will act as guide planes and establish and measure undercuts.The CPD design included a lingual plate as a major connector ,a ring clasp on 48 to accommodate for the severe lingual tilt.

Prótesis Parcial Removible como alternativa protésica en pacientes sometidos a cirugía maxilar resectiva

“…La rehabilitación protésica posterior a una resección mandibular es uno de los tratamientos protésicos más desafiantes y exigentes debido a que se presenta obliteración en la profundidad del vestíbulo, disminución en la estabilidad de la prótesis soportada por los tejidos blandos y pérdida en tejidos de soporte (1) El objetivo de la prótesis obturadora es la rehabilitación funcional y estética de las estructuras anatómicas intraorales, empleando componentes artificiales que devolverán la forma y función adecuada, además de conservar los tejidos remanentes en buenas condiciones. También es utilizada para varios tratamientos de rehabilitación tales como pacientes oncológicos y aquellos que presenten traumatismo (2).…”

Mechanical effects of residual bone mass, a maxillofacial prosthesis, and a reconstruction plate on the mandible after marginal resection

“…Marginal resection of the mandible is a tumor surgery that preserves the inferior border of the mandible and minimizes postoperative morphological and functional deformities of the mandible [1]. Maxillofacial prosthetic treatment is required after marginal resection of the mandible [2]. The objectives of maxillofacial prostheses are restoration of maxillofacial morphology and masticatory function, improvement of esthetics and mental wellbeing, and support of patient social reintegration and quality of life [3].…”
