ABSTRACT
Anterior edentulous areas usually display unusual soft tissue configurations and compromised bone support in patients with marginal mandibulectomy. There are several treatment modalities for these patients. A removable partial denture may be the treatment of choice. Maximum stability of the partial denture base for mandibulectomy patients may be accomplished by the application of the neutral zone concept, which helps providing stability to the base. This case report describes the fabrication of a removable partial denture for a patient with marginal mandibulectomy using a modified neutral zone technique.
RESUMO
Areas anteriores edêntulas apresentam configurações incomuns de tecido mole e suporte ósseo comprometido em pacientes submetidos a mandibulectomia marginal. Há diversas modalidades de tratamento para estes pacientes. A instalação de uma prótese parcial removível pode ser o tratamento de escolha. Máxima estabilidade da base da prótese parcial para pacientes submetidos a mandibulectomia pode ser obtida pela aplicação do conceito da zona neutra, o que auxilia na estabilização da base. Este relato de caso descreve a fabricação de uma prótese parcial removível em um paciente com mandibulectomia marginal utilizando uma modificação da técnica da zona neutra.
