Summary. Prosthetic rehabilitation of a completely edentulous patient is no more confined to replacement of missing teeth. Long span of edentulism and ageing leads to loss of support of the facial musculature, which is of great concern in treating completely edentulous patients. Flaccid facial musculature eventually leads to sunken cheeks and unesthetic appearance, causing a negative impact on psychological well-being of the patient. The use of conventional complete dentures can restore the loss to some extent, but in some cases, additional support is required. The present clinical report exemplifies the use of magnet-retained detachable maxillary cheek plumper prosthesis in a completely edentulous patient with sunken cheeks.

Rehabilitation becomes more challenging with the partial edentulism where bilateral segment is found missing. The collapse of posterior teeth also results in the loss of normal occlusal plane and the reduction of the vertical dimension. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a 65-year old female patient with multiple missing teeth and severe loss of tooth structure. The maxillary arch was restored with fixed partial dentures and the mandibular arch using porcelain fused to metal crowns and removable prosthodontics.

AbstractIntroduction. Complete edentulism is escorted by various comorbidities, which affect an individual. The management of edentulous patients was approached since the early days of dentistry.The aim of this case report was to present the implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation of a bimaxillary complete edentulous patient with implant-supported overdentures, by using Straumann dental implants.Case presentation. This case report presents the applied treatment to a bimaxillary complete edentulous patient, where the predictable osseointegration and implant stability after the placement of implants was possible, with the purpose to support the overdentures.Conclusions. The oral rehabilitation of complete bimaxillary edentulism through implant-supported overdentures is a procedure with a predictive treatment that presents beneficial aspects in the quality of life of the patients.

Marginal mandibulectomy involves resection of mandibular body with overlying soft tissues while maintaining inferior cortex of mandible and its continuity. It may lead to numerous problems associated with mastication, speech and deglutition and esthetics. Problems associated with such defect depend upon location and extent of surgical resection. Prosthodontic rehabilitation of such patient poses challenges because of obliterated vestibular depth, inadequate denture bearing areas for support, lesser number of remaining teeth. This article describes rehabilitation of patient who underwent anterior segmental mandibulectomy with cast partial removable denture to replace the missing teeth and maintain esthetics.

In mandibular edentulous patients, treatment based on immediate loading with rigid splinting in the mandible is well accepted; however, it is cost and time dependent, which sometimes limits this type of rehabilitation. To overcome these problems, the technique of immediate loading using a semirigid splinting extension system has been developed. Its advantages include low cost, technical feasibility, and reduced clinic time. This clinical report presents the applicability and the predictability of semirigid splinting of implants in the mandibular arch of an edentulous patient using adistal extension bar prosthesis system.

Patients with unrepaired cleft palate defects still exist within remote rural areas. The prosthodontic rehabilitation of an adult edentulous cleft patient could be very demanding for treating maxillofacial prosthodontist, since most of them are edentulous, challenging the retention and the stability of the maxillary prosthesis. It is therefore highly important that cleft palate patients seek dental and prosthodontic care as early in their life as possible. In this report, an unusual case of a patient self-obturated cleft palate defect is presented. The patient’s self-made prosthesis was replaced by an appropriately fabricated pharyngeal obturator prosthesis in order to improve speech and swallowing.

Latar belakang. Hemimaksilektomi adalah reseksi sebagian maksila pada satu sisi. Defek yang dihasilkan setelah hemimaksilektomi akan menyebabkan kecacatan pada wajah serta akan menimbulkan gangguan stomatognatik. Rehabilitasi prostetik merupakan suatu bagian yang penting dalam rekonstruksi rongga mulut pasien pasca pembedahan kanker rongga mulut. Upaya rehabilitasi ini mencakup bentuk perawatan yang melibatkan kerjasama multidisipliner dengan bagian ilmu penyakit mulut, bedah onkologi dan prostodonsi. Tujuan. Penulisan laporan kasus ini bertujuan untuk menginformasikan rehabilitasi prostetik pasca hemimaksilektomi untuk pasien edentulous. Kasus dan penanganan. Pasien laki-laki berumur 65 tahun datang ke RSGM Prof Soedomo dengan diagnose kanker di palatum dan akan dilakukan hemimaksilektomi di RSUP Dr Sardjito Yogyakarta. Protesa yang digunakan dalam rehabilitasi prostetik ini adalah obturator imidiat, obturator interim dan obturator definitive. Obturator definitif pada pasien edentulous berupa gigi tiruan lengkap dengan bulb pada sisi defek. Bentuk obturator dibuat dengan mengoptimalisasi retensi dari struktur anatomi yang tersisa. Kesimpulan. Rehabilitasi prostodontik pada pasien edentulous pasca hemimaksilektomi adalah dengan obturator imidiat, obturator interim dan obturator definitive berupa gigi tiruan lengkap dengan bulb. Background. Hemimaxillectomy is resection on unilateral side of maxilla. Maxillary defect that occurred after hemimaxillectomy result in facial deformities and stomatognatic disfunction. Prosthetic rehabilitation is essential part in oral reconstruction after patient undergone oral cancer surgery. Rehabilitative efforts involve treatment modalities involving multidiscipliner teamwork with oral pathologist, oncologist and prosthodontist. Purpose. Purpose of the report was to inform the prosthetic rehabilitation after hemimaxillectomy in completely edentulous patient. Case and treatment. A 65 years male diagnosed cancer on palatal referred to RSGM Prof Soedomo in order to prepare prosthodontic rehabilitation after hemimaxillectomy in RSUP Dr Sardjito, Yogyakarta. Prosthesis used in this rehabilitation were immediate obturator, interim obturator and definitive obturator. Obturator for completely edentulous patients is complete denture with the bulb on defect side. The shape of obturator was designed to optimalize retention from the remaining anatomical structure. Conclusion. Prosthetic rehabilitation for hemimaxillectomy edentulous patient were immediate obturator, interim obturator and definitive obturator.

Abstract Aim The purpose of this clinical report is to present a description of the prosthetic rehabilitation of a bilateral complete maxillectomy patient using a two piece magnetically connected prosthesis. Background A complete bilateral maxillectomy defect presents a considerable reconstructive challenge for the prosthodontist. It results in devastating effects on cosmetic, functional, and psychological aspects of the patient. Report A 46-year-old woman reported with a chief complaint of missing teeth in the upper jaw. Her primary concerns were a poor facial appearance, inability to chew food, and regurgitation of the food into the nasal cavity. She was diagnosed with carcinoma of the maxillary sinus, for which a bilateral maxillectomy was done followed by post surgical radiation therapy. The prosthetic treatment objectives were to separate the nasal and oral cavities, restore the mid-facial contour, and improve her masticatory functions by providing a full complement of maxillary teeth using a two-piece connected hollow obturator prosthesis connected by a magnet. Summary Insertion and removal of a large prostheses used for rehabilitation of midfacial defects requires good neuromotor coordination and an adequate mouth opening. Because these factors were problematic for this patient, the treatment plan was to fabricate a two piece magnetically connected prosthesis. After fabrication and insertion of the prosthesis, the fit between two sections was evaluated and instructions for insertion, removal, and maintenance of the obturator were given. The patient's speech, masticatory efficiency, and swallowing dramatically improved after insertion. Citation Chandra TS, Sholapurkar A, Joseph RM, Aparna IN, Pai KM.

The use of implants has enabled more treatment options for prosthetic rehabilitation of partially and completely edentulous patients. This clinical report describes a treatment approach for an 80-year-old patient taking advantage of the remaining natural teeth for prosthetic rehabilitation. The final treatment plan included natural tooth-supported and implant-supported crowns combined with a milled bar partial overdenture retained by tilted dental implants. The overdentures supported by the milled bar implants provide the advantages of both fixed and removable restorations. In addition to patient satisfaction, the overdentures also minimise alveolar bone resorption, increase longevity and stability and improve masticatory efficiency.

Patient. A 68-year-old man was operated on for squamous cell carcinoma (T3N3M0) of the maxilla creating the hemimaxillary surgical defect on right side. The remaining arch was completely edentulous. There was remarkable limitation in the oral opening with reduced perimeter of the oral cavity due to radiation and surgical scar contracture. This article describes prosthetic rehabilitation by modifying the design of the obturator and achieving the retention with dental implant.Discussion. Severe limitation in the oral opening may occur in clinical situations following the postsurgical management of oral and maxillofacial defects. The prosthetic rehabilitation of the surgical defect in such patients becomes a challenging task due to limited access to the oral cavity. This challenge becomes even more difficult if the patient is edentulous and there are no teeth to gain the retention, stability, and support.Conclusion. In severe microstomia prosthesis insertion and removal can be achieved with modification of the maximum width of the prosthesis. Dental implant retention is useful treatment option in edentulous patients with maxillary surgical defect provided that sufficient bone volume and accessibility are there for implant placement.
