Abstract:
Oral squamous cell carcinomas result in significant impairment of oral function as they tend to invade bone. Bone invasion often mandates partial mandibular resection, such as hemimandibulectomy, which reduces overall quality of life. To rehabilitate such patients, fixed functional guide flanges position the mandible, improving overall masticatory ability. Custom fixed functional prostheses using digitally assisted dentistry are highly accurate. This technique uses digital technology and a digital workflow to fabricate an open-frame fixed functional guide flange prosthesis.
