Restoration of excessive interocclusal restoration space post‐mandibulectomy using a two‐platform implant‐supported fixed prosthesis: A case report

Rehabilitating patients after segmental mandibulectomy is challenging, particularly when faced with excessive interocclusal restorative space. This case report describes the treatment of a 65-year-old male with a 34-mm interocclusal space following the resection of an ameloblastoma of the right mandible. To manage the biomechanical and esthetic challenges, a two-platform, screw-retained, implant-supported fixed prosthesis was fabricated. The treatment restored masticatory function, phonetics, and facial esthetics, significantly improving the patient's quality of life and demonstrating an effective protocol for complex maxillofacial reconstructions.

Abstract

Rehabilitating patients after segmental mandibulectomy is challenging, particularly when faced with excessive interocclusal restorative space. This case report describes the treatment of a 65-year-old male with a 34-mm interocclusal space following the resection of an ameloblastoma of the right mandible. To manage the biomechanical and esthetic challenges, a two-platform, screw-retained, implant-supported fixed prosthesis was fabricated. The treatment restored masticatory function, phonetics, and facial esthetics, significantly improving the patient's quality of life and demonstrating an effective protocol for complex maxillofacial reconstructions.
