Patient: The patient was a 71-year-old male who visited our hospital with the chief complaint of erosion on the left mandibular molar gingiva. As a result of examination, the erosion was diagnosed to be a malignant tumor. After performing marginal mandibulectomy and then simultaneously replacing the wound with an implant under general anesthesia, an implant-supported overdenture was then fabricated.
Discussion: In this case, a favorable result was obtained by means of an implant-supported overdenture which was fabricated and delivered at an early postoperative stage.
Conclusion: By planning and preparing to perform prosthetic treatment before surgery in anticipation of a good postoperative functional recovery, not only the number of operations, but also the waiting period until the final prosthesis could be shortened, and a good functional recovery was rapidly achieved.
