Twin Occlusion Prosthesis: Management of Hemimandibulectomy Patient: A Case Report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Education - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Post hemimandibulectomy prosthetic rehabilitation poses a challenge because of facial asymmetry, altered muscle function, deviation of the remaining mandible to the resected side, producing compromised esthetics and function. The treatment options in such scenario are surgical restoration, physiotherapy or prosthodontic intervention. The prosthetic management is challenging in order to develop occlusal scheme with compromised retention and stability. Prosthodontic treatment along with physiotherapy may be useful in reducing mandibular deviation and improving masticatory efficiency. A patient of hemimandibulectomy due to surgical resection of squamous cell carcinoma was treated with twin occlusion prosthesis with the objective of improving mastication and phonetics.
