Abstract

Partial glossectomy, often required in the treatment of tongue cancer, results in significant functional impairment affecting speech, swallowing and chewing. These sequelae are particularly challenging to manage in edentulous patients and/or those who have undergone partial mandibulectomy. The palatal augmentation prosthesis is a relevant prosthetic solution that allows the restoration of tongue-palate contact and compensates for the loss of tongue mobility by morphological adaptation of the prosthetic palate. Using a clinical case, this article outlines the key steps in the prosthetic rehabilitation of a fully edentulous patient who underwent partial glossectomy, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and a rigorous technical protocol tailored to the anatomical and functional specificities of each case.
