Area of Science:

Dental prosthodontics
Oral surgery
Biomaterials

Background:

Odontogenic myxomas can cause significant alveolar bone defects in the mandible.
Surgical excision of these tumors necessitates complex reconstructive procedures.
Traditional prosthodontic rehabilitation methods may be invasive or insufficient for large defects.

Observation:

A patient presented with a posterior mandibular alveolar defect post-odontogenic myxoma excision.
A minimally invasive technique was employed for reconstruction.
This technique involved a modified Andrews fixed dental prosthesis.

Findings:

The modified prosthesis successfully replaced both soft and hard tissues in the defect area.
The treatment addressed the functional and aesthetic deficits caused by the tumor.
Detailed clinical stages and material selection were documented.

Implications:

This minimally invasive approach offers a viable alternative for managing similar complex mandibular defects.
The modified Andrews prosthesis demonstrates potential for effective tissue replacement in reconstructive dentistry.
Further research can explore long-term outcomes and material biocompatibility.
