[Treatment of patients with resected lower jaw with removable overdentures]

An orthopedic treatment mode is described of patients with hemiresection of the lower jaw with the retention of several teeth on the residual fragment. A postresectional overdenture with telescopic fixation and leading buccal phalanges have been worked out upon the properly formed, capped and splinted supporting teeth. The good results from the treatment reveal that overdentures are indicated for maxillofacial prosthesis.
