Abstract

The residual mandible deviates toward the resected side due to the mandible's discontinuity.

A hemimandibulectomy patient can be rehabilitated in a variety of methods. The patient described in this case report underwent class III hemimandibulectomy owing to early squamous cell carcinoma of left mandibular alveolus. He went to the prosthodontics department for rehabilitation of the defect because he was having difficulty masticating and was also concerned about esthetics.

Objective: This case report describes a technique for rehabilitating a hemimandibulectomy with complete dentures designed with twin occlusion to restore function and improve facial appearance.
