Abstract
Patient: A 78-year-old edentulous female complained of masticatory dysfunction. She had undergone segmental mandibulectomy 55 years earlier, and her mandibular denture had poor stability. The position of an artificial tooth was arranged in an appropriate manner and the shape of the polished surface was determined using the flange technique.
Discussion: It was considered that the new denture obtained stability of functional movement by improving the position of the artificial tooth arrangement and the shape of the polished surface using the flange technique.
Conclusion: In this case, the poor stability of the mandibular denture of the patient with mandibulectomy was improved by appropriate prosthodontic examination, diagnosis and treatment.
