[Prosthetic treatment of mandibular pseudarthrosis using an articulated prosthesis]. / Traitement prothétique d'une pseudarthrose mandibulaire par prothèse articulée.

ABSTRACT

Two cases with complete loss of the tooth-bearing portion of the mandible were repaired with a prosthesis. This type of defect can involve the loss of a large number of teeth and aggression to the remaining teeth must be limited as much as possible. A two-part "articulated" prosthesis with two rings appears to be the best adapted system. This method takes into account the requirements of for additional conventional prostheses and thus makes it possible to save the remaining teeth.
