Definitive Obturator Prosthesis Post Mandibular Dredging for Treatment Ameloblastoma Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Background: Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor that can cause bone destruction in the mandible. Mandibular dredging is a conservative treatment that involves enucleation and curettage of tumor tissue to remove tumor tissue from the bone-tooth loss after mandibular dredging treatment results in reduced occlusion function and aesthetics. A definitive obturator prosthesis is helpful to restore occlusions and aesthetics.
