Masticatory efficiency of implant-supported removable partial dental prostheses in patients with free fibula flap reconstructed mandibles: A split-mouth, observational study.

In patients with surgically reconstructed mandibles, a normal masticatory function can be successfully achieved with a rehabilitation of the reconstructed side with implant-supported removable partial dental prostheses. Implant-supported prostheses should be actively advocated in patients with reconstructive surgeries to restore their masticatory function, extend their food choices, and improve their overall oral health-related quality of life.
