ABSTRACT Oral malignancies originating from or secondarily involving mandible are usually treated by surgical excision and may result in mandibular defect with or without loss of continuity. Surgical resection may lead to loss of buccal and lingual sulci, loss of symmetry of mandibular function, altered mandibular movements and deviation of the residual fragment toward the resected side. Radiation therapy is often given after resection of malignant tumors, which may produce undesirable side effects, like mucositis and mucosal atrophy, trismus, increased susceptibility to irritation and ulceration and reduction in salivary flow. This overall change in anatomy and physiology of oral cavity after segmental mandibular resection presents a restorative challange. This clinical report presents fabrication of complete dentures for a patient who had undergone segmental mandibulectomy and had restricted mouth opening.

INTRODUCTION: Several factors can lead to mechanical complications in implant-supported fixed complete dentures (IFCD).CASE DESCRIPTION: This clinical report presents a clinical case of a maxillary IFCDP with recurrent mechanical complications and a possible causal interaction between patient’s intrinsic characteristics (bruxism and high occlusal force) and technical procedures (framework design, occlusal adjustment, interocclusal splint, and posterior occlusal support).CONCLUSION: The 3-year follow-up findings highlight the need for a comprehensive and systemic approach to manage a challenging case of an IFCD patient with moderate bruxism and high occlusal force.

Flabby maxillary ridge is the most commonly encountered clinical condition during routine dental practice. The presence of these displaceable denture-bearing tissues often poses difficulty during fabrication of complete dentures resulting in compromised support, retention and stability. Many impression techniques and materials have been proposed in various literatures to help overcome this difficulty. These techniques vary in philosophies but are often quite time-consuming to perform, and rely on materials not commonly in use in contemporary dental practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe an impression technique for flabby ridges, using conventional impression material.
