Abstract

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma is prevalent in middle asia due to prevalence of tobacco chewing. Management includes removal of mandibular bone along with adjacent muscles and nerves. Mandible is attached to cranium with the support of muscles. Removal of muscles results in deviation of mandible and loss of occlusion, which is necessary for functions such as chewing, swallowing and to some extent in speech. Prosthetic appliances help in restoration of position of mandible and thus restoring the function. Case Report: This is a case of 58 year old male with hemimandibulectomy due to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment Plan: Interim guiding prosthesis was planned for mandibular repositioning as the patient did not report before the surgical excision. Conclusion: a definitive management would be undertaken by using cast partial dentures after mandibular repositioning with interim prosthesis is done.
