Abstract
Sufferers of cerebral palsy often have difficulty in chewing, speaking and swallowing because of the involuntary muscle spasms caused by their condition. This problem also makes it very difficult or even impossible for them to wear complete mandibular dentures. This article describes a cerebral palsy sufferer who was successfully fitted with a complete lower denture stabilized by osseointegrated implants. It may be possible to apply the techniques used for people with similar problems.
