title: Management of severe mandibular deviation following partial mandibular resection: a case report.
abstract: Extensive mandibular resection commonly leads to a deviation of the mandible, facial disfigurement, and difficulty with speech and mastication. The rehabilitation of these patients is a prosthodontic challenge. This article presents the case of a 60-year-old man who sought prosthetic rehabilitation after a right segmental mandibulectomy. The prosthetic rehabilitation was planned in 2 phases. A palatal ramp was constructed, followed by a mandibular guiding flange. After 4 months, the patient's chewing ability, tongue movement, and facial esthetics were improved.
