Abstract

Osseointegrated implants are useful for dental reconstruction of partial and complete edentulism. The use of implants is also advantageous for fixation of a prosthesis in patients following tumor surgery. Maxillectomy for tumor treatment decreases masticatory function and speech function. We used vascularized bone grafts and osseointegrated implants for masticatory rehabilitation after maxillectomy, and evaluated the masticatory function, by means of a questionnaire on masticatory efficiency, and by occlusal force measurement. As a result, the patient showed high points in the questionnaire and high magnitude of occlusal force.<br/>
