A case report of prosthetic treatment after resection for mandibular gingival carcinoma with surgical reconstruction

Abstract

Patient: The patient was a 68-year-old man who had mastication disorder and esthetic failure after resection of mandibular gingival carcinoma with surgical reconstruction. He had multiple tooth loss, and presented restricted mandibular movement and deviation of mandibular position to the right associated with surgical reconstruction. Comprehensive prosthetic treatment was planned by using treatment dentures.

Discussion: It was considered that a satisfactory outcome and good prognosis of the final denture were achieved by monitoring the oral function and associated changes over time using treatment dentures.

Conclusion: Advance comprehensive planning of the prosthetic treatment based on preliminary treatment dentures in this patient, who had undergone mandibular gingival carcinoma resection with surgical reconstruction, resulted in a favorable outcome.
