Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor of odontogenic epithelial origin commonly affecting the mandible than the maxilla. The ameloblastoma is a rare metastatic neoplasm with lesions causing abnormalities of face and jaw. Abnormal cell growth would affect the surrounding bony structures which could be managed only by surgical excision. Mandibulectomy of various levels could be done depending on the extent of the lesion. Surgical excision of mandible can be done with or without preservation of the basal cortical bone. Prosthodontic management of mandibulectomy patients with alternate options than conventional dentures have not been reported. Here, we report a case of 37 year old male patient with segmental mandibulectomy ` managed with a hollow cast partial denture.
