Abstract
Patient: A 53-year-old male patient had undergone segmental resection of mandible and mandibular bone reconstruction by the fibula under the diagnosis of ameloblastoma. A removable partial denture featuring a rigid support design with adequate diagnosis was inserted to improve the functional disorder postoperatively.
Discussion: Remarkable improvements of esthetics, pronunciation, and chewing were admitted by installation of the removable partial denture. As of 6 years follow up of the remaining teeth, periodontal structure, and intercuspal position remain in good condition and the patient has not complained of any problems with the partial denture.
Conclusion: The removable partial denture was effective in this case.
