“…Although, the mean scores on evaluation of OHRQL using the H&N35 questionnaire revealed general improvement on all the parameters evaluated following dental rehabilitation, only the social aspects were statistically significant following comparative analysis [p = 0.01]. This is in agreement with previous re-ports which suggested that dental rehabilitation has more impact on patients' cosmetic appearance than other aspects of oral functions [2] [20]. Methods employed include the use of bite force measurement, the use of test foods such as carrots and peanuts, assessment of tongue and cheek function, the use of Visual Analogue Scale to assess oral function and standardized questionnaires to get patients' level of satisfaction.…”

Background: Resection of the mandible can lead to bony defect which has a direct bearing on the quality of life of the patient. Reconstruction of such defect is necessary to restore aesthetics but optimal functioning of the oral cavity can only be achieved with prosthodontic rehabilitation. We, hereby, report the impact of oral rehabilitation on patients' satisfaction and quality of life after mandibular reconstruction in our institution. Materials and Method: Patients who had oral rehabilitation following mandibular reconstruction from January 2010 to December 2015 were included. Patients' oral health related quality of life [OHRQL] before and after rehabilitation was evaluated using the head and neck module of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC]. Oral functions and denture satisfaction were also evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]. Data obtained were analyzed with SPSS version 20 and level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Result: Of the 43 patients who had mandibular reconstruction during the study period, only 21 [48.8%] had dental rehabilitation. Twelve patients [57.1%] had conventional acrylic denture, 5 had fixed denture [bridge] while 4 patients had rehabilitation with dental implants. The mean follow-up period after rehabilitation was 8.42 months [Range: 6-22 months]. Although, OHRQL analysis revealed an improvement following rehabilitation, only the social aspect of the evaluation was statistically significant [p < 0.

“…Fabrication of a maxillary obturator is relatively easy for dentate patients. However, in patients with an edentulous maxilla, retention and stability of the prosthesis are problematic and will cause dysfunctions of mastication and pronunciation [1] [2]. Implant-supported full fixed prostheses (ISFPs) for the rehabilitation of edentulous jaws using osseo-integrated implants have been getting popular among dental clinicians.…”

Implant-Supported Full Fixed Prostheses with a Removable Oro-Nasal Obturator for the Edentulous Maxilla with Palatal Fistula due to Surgical Procedures for Oral Cancer

Open oro-nasal defects resulting after oral tumor resection need structural and functional rehabilitation using dental prostheses. Conventional removable prostheses have usually been indicated and performed for prosthodontics. When the patient has an edentulous maxilla, the unfavorable stability of the prosthesis will cause dysfunction of mastication and pronunciation. To achieve improvement of the impaired functional situation, implant-supported full fixed prostheses (IPSPs) for the edentulous maxilla with a removable obturator offer a reasonable solution. We present herein the case of a 70-year-old Japanese man who has presented with oro-nasal defect due to surgical procedures for oral cancer. He was treated with implant-supported full fixed prostheses in a conventional two-step procedure. After prosthesis treatment, a palatal obturator was set. The patient has shown no clinical or radiological evidence of failure as of 24 months after the end of treatment. Functional evaluation of mastication and pronunciation showed dramatic improvements. For a patient with an edentulous maxilla and palatal fistula, full-arch fixed prostheses supported by a combination of axially and non-axially positioned implants and a removable oro-nasal obturator, using the anterior alveolar bone, without bone transplantation or maxillary sinus elevation, could offer an effective, minimally invasive treatment alternative.
