Prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous patient after segmental mandibulectomy: a systematic review ; La réhabilitation prothétique chez le patient édenté après une perte de substance mandibulaire interruptrice : une revue systématique

Aim: after partial mandibulectomy, patients often require prosthetic rehabilitation, usually with complete removable dentures. Due to the anatomical and functional peculiarities of these patients, this literature review aims to identify the specific prosthetic design guidelines required for these dentures. Materials and methods: this research followed the guidelines of the Prisma-P protocol. Numerical research was carried out in the PubMed and Scopus databases using a combination of keywords. An Initial selection of articles was made on the grounds of type, title, and abstract reading. Only studies that appeared to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered for further study. Results: 13 articles were included in this review. The different steps involved in making complete dentures were studied and compared in charts to understand the protocols used by each author. The treatment choices were oriented and adapted to each patient's unique clinical situation. Therapeutic arsenals were used, such as piezographic impressions, the use of patient proprioception to determine VDO and the placement of a double row of teeth on the palatal surface. Conclusion: the design of a complete denture for patients who have undergone partial mandibulectomy requires a specialized approach that goes beyond conventional prosthetic principles, due to unique anatomical and functional considerations. ; Objectif : après une mandibulectomie partielle, les patients nécessitent souvent une réhabilitation prothétique, généralement avec des prothèses amovibles complètes. Compte tenu des particularités anatomiques et fonctionnelles de ces patients, cette revue de littérature vise à identifier les règles de conception spécifiques à l’élaboration de ces prothèses, Matériels et Méthodes : la recherche a suivi les directives du protocole PRISMA-P. Une recherche numérique a été menée dans les bases de données PubMed et Scopus grâce à une combinaison de mots clés. Une première sélection des articles a été effectuée en fonction du type, ...
