Abstract
Patient: A 27-year-old female had undergone partial mandibulectomy under the diagnosis of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The temporary denture was placed after 17days postoperatively. After the forearm flap became stable, the final denture with hand-made artificial porcelain teeth fabricated and frozen muddy porcelain method (P-C•P•F) was inserted. The patient was followed for 8 years with no complications.
Discussion: Both pre-surgical impression and P-C•P•F method contributed to the recovery of appearance and function in the early post-operative stage. This method allows the preoperative state of dentition to be precisely reproduced.
Conclusion: This report suggests usefulness of P-C•P•F method applied in the maxillofacial prosthetic patients who lost a lot of teeth by tumor resection.
