Abstract

Segmental resection of the mandible commonly results in the deviation of mandible towards the defective side. The amount of deviation depends on the amount of hard and soft tissue involvement, method of surgical site closure, degree of impaired tongue function, number of remaining teeth and the extent of loss of sensory and motor innervations. Prosthodontic treatment along with physical therapy may be useful in reducing mandibular deviation and improving masticatory efficiency. This clinical report describes the use of a cue-sill prosthesis to rehabilitate a hemimandibulectomy case for improved masticatory efficiency and esthetics.
