Özet

The defects those accomplished by the resection of a malign or a benign neoplasm in mandible are called acquired mandibular defects. The management of malignant tumors associated with the tongue, floor of the mouth, mandible and adjacent structures represent a difficult challenge for the surgeon, radiation oncologist and prosthodontist relative to both control of the primary disease and rehabilitation following treatment. Follow up of the patient starting from the preoperative phase with interdisciplinary cooperation obtains more successful prosthetic applications.
