Importance of Early Prosthodontic Intervention with Guidance Appliance In a Hemimandibulectomy Patient: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
No cancer is minor to the affected individual. Cancers of head and neck are considered as main cause of producing obvious disfigurement of face and severe dysfunction. Loss in anatomic integrity , mandibular deviation, loss of ability to control saliva, difficult deglutition ,compromised speech, compromised interaction with society are post-surgical sequels. Mandibular rehabilitation becomes more demanding and challenging because of mandibular deviation. The severity and permanence of deviation depends upon number of factors such as extent of surgery, method of reconstruction and the time elapsed between reconstructive surgeries and starting of prosthodontic rehabilitation. An early prosthetic guidance intervention combined with a well-structured exercise regimen does not only reduce mandibular deviation but also improves masticatory performance and efficiency of a patient with hemimandibulectomy defect. So emphasis on early prosthetic guidance procedure must be given.
