One of the most demanding of the maxillofacial endeavors is the construction of a functional removable denture for the patient who has undergone a mandibular resection. All the disciplines of scientific denture construction must be mastered to afford satisfactory rehabilitation in such cases. This article describes the management of a partially edentulous hemi- mandibulectomy patient using the neutral zone concept. |
