Abstract
Patient: A 76-year-old man visited our clinic with the chief complaint of difficulty in mastication due to a poor-fitting denture. Since a flap from segmental mandibulectomy was observed, upper and lower dentures were fabricated considering the morphology and artesian displacement of a denture in the same area.
Discussion: A favorable result was obtained since marked movement disorder and invasion to the soft tissue were not observed after oral cancer surgery, the shape of the denture in the flap area was carefully designed, and a higher QOL was achieved. The patient needs to be carefully monitored to lower the risk.
Conclusion: Functional recovery and improved QOL were achieved by flap-conscious denture design.
