A case report describes how a two-platform implant-supported prosthesis improved function and esthetics in a patient after mandibulectomy, suggesting a valuable intervention.
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.
