Prosthetic Functional Rehabilitation Following Resection of an Oral Malignoma – A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Novel Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Tumor surgery in the orofacial region frequently requires resection of major parts of the jawbone and the adjacent facial and pharyngeal soft tissue resulting in large-scale hard and soft tissue defects. Consequences of such defects may include masticatory dysfunction, speech disturbances and swallowing problems as well as significant aesthetic impairment for the patients concerned.
