| Popis: | In hemi-mandibulectomy patients, the fabrication of a successful prosthesis is a challenging task. Segmental resection of the mandible causes deviation toward the resected side resulting in facial disfigurement, difficulty in speech, mastication, swallowing, respiration, and restricted mandibular movements. Such a condition affects the daily life of the patient and might also result in a disturbed psychological state. The primary goal of treating these patients was to achieve facial aesthetics and restore function and phonetics. Such a scenario can be tackled more efficiently with good patient cooperation and a well-fabricated prosthesis. |
