Unilateral osseous reconstruction of a dentate mandible after tumor ablation may be restored with implants and a removable partial denture. Often the remaining dentition is in a “straight line” that does not allow cross‐arch stabilization of the framework. Framework design incorporating existing unilateral lingual or buccal retention in the natural dentition and unilateral implant attachments affords a stable, retentive definitive prosthesis for this patient population.
