Prosthesis for mandibular guidance therapy – A case series
Journal Title: IP Annals of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
This article shows the importance of an intraoral guiding flange prosthesis in patients who have undergone resection of mandible due to an underlying pathology The case series show how the use of a guidance prosthesis can reeducate the mandibular muscles and reestablish an occlusal relationship for the resected mandible Fabrication of a Guiding flange prosthesis was done for patients reporting to the department of Prosthodontics with a significant deviation of mandible causing a deranged occlusion Utilisation of various intraoral prosthesis designs to overcome the deranged forces of the mandibular muscles have been shown Basic designs used for fabricating the guidance prosthesis were buccalbased maxillary based palatalbased maxillary based and mandibularbased guidance The reestablishment of the occlusal relationship was successful with the use of any of the basic designs of a guiding prosthesis The patients could maintain a healthy occlusal relationship even after cessation of the therapy This case series gives an insight as to how a Guidance prosthesis can be utilized either on an interim basis or as a part of definitive treatment too although the success depends on the nature of surgical defect patient39s cooperation and early physiotherapy programKeywords Guiding flange Mandibular defect Occlusal correction
