Abstract
The patient who has undergone mandibular resection is left with multiple physiologic & cosmetic deficiencies, including the ability to masticate in an acceptable or efficient manner. The treatment of these patients is enhanced by careful preoperative evaluation & involvement of prosthodontist to discuss potential rehabilitative needs with the surgeons. In the discontinuity defect, the most common postoperative rehabilitative problem is the lack of occlusion secondary to mandibular deviation. Prosthodontist find challenging to provide reasonable & practical occlusal schemes for such patients with mandibular deviations. This article presents a case report of successfully rehabilitation of patients with hemimandibulectomy, hy an interdisciplinary approach.
