Improving Maxillary Denture Stabilization of A Maxillectomy Patient by The Neutral Zone Utilization: A Case Report
Keywords:
complete denture, neutral zone, maxillectomy, nasolabial flapAbstract
This clinical report described the treatment of a 63-year-old male patient with maxillary osteomyelitis who underwent a maxillectomy, followed by reconstruction surgery using a nasolabial flap, so the patient was lacked maxillary bone to support the upper denture. The upper complete denture procedure was done based on neutral zone technique taking the advantages in term of supporting tissue, retention and stability. Whereas lower complete denture was performed using conventional techniques since bone and surrounding tissue were in good condition. Follow up one year after complete denture insertion, good stability had shown in this case.
