Reconstruction of a Mandibular Defect with Toronto Bridge Following Tumor Resection and Bone Graft: A Case Report

Abstract

Dental implants are highly recommended to improve retention, stability, and support of prostheses in edentulous patients with large surgical defects. Depending on the size of the defect a bone graft procedure might be necessary. However, due to limitations of bone grafts some complications might negatively affect the prosthetic rehabilitation of the patient. This case presents some of these prosthetic problems following surgical resection and autogenous bone graft procedures.
