Occlusal considerations for the partial mandibulectomy patient.

R P Desjardins

    The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry
    |March 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Restoring mandibular continuity through surgery significantly improves occlusal efficiency for patients with defects. Prosthodontic management, even with limitations, offers crucial clinical and psychological support for rehabilitation.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Prosthodontics
    • Reconstructive Dentistry

    Background:

    • Mandibular defects present significant challenges in achieving functional occlusion.
    • Occlusal efficiency is often limited by defect size, mandibular deviation, and muscle control issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the prosthodontic management of patients with mandibular defects.
    • To highlight the impact of surgical restoration on occlusal rehabilitation.
    • To emphasize the importance of prosthodontic support in patient recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical restoration of mandibular continuity.
    • Fabrication of occlusal schemes tailored to individual patient needs.
    • Prosthodontic treatment planning for discontinuity defects.

    Main Results:

    • Restoring mandibular continuity resolves many discontinuity defect issues.
    • Prosthodontic approaches for continuity defects can be applied post-surgery.
    • Despite limitations, prosthodontic therapy enhances patient rehabilitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical intervention is key to resolving mandibular discontinuity defects.
    • Prosthodontics plays a vital role in managing occlusal challenges post-mandibulectomy.
    • Comprehensive patient support is essential for successful rehabilitation outcomes.
