Abstract
An intraoral prosthesis was fabricated to restore more normal contour to a patient's lower lip that was compromised following a marginal mandibulectomy performed to eradicate a malignant neoplasm. The surgical resection compromised the lower lip on the affected side because the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve was damaged during the surgical resection. The prosthesis successfully restored the lost lip support, reduced the incidence of lip biting, and improved the patient's oral competency. This clinical report describes the procedure for making an intraoral lip plumper prosthesis to improve patient esthetics and oral function.
