Prosthetic management of hemimandibulectomy patient –A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
The prosthodontic rehabilitation of patients with mandibular defects is challenging. The unilateral loss of mandibular continuity due to surgery or trauma results in mandibular deviation toward the defect side with lack of occlusion. Unlike the dentulous patients, edentulous patients are difficult to retrain mandibular movement and many times may never achieve proper maxillomandibular relationships for optimum mastication and appearance. We present a case of a completely edentulous hemimandibulectomy patient who approached for replacement of missing teeth after 6 years of cancer therapy
