Athanasios Ntounis et al. J Prosthodont. 2013 Aug.

Abstract

Excision of head and neck tumors (benign or malignant) often leads to large segmental resections of the mandible. The following clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a 60-year-old Caucasian man after partial mandibulectomy due to primary oral leiomyosarcoma. Treatment consisted of a free fibula flap and an implant-supported telescopic removable prosthesis.

Keywords: Fibula free flap; implants; removable dental prosthesis; telescopic.
