Prosthodontic management of mandibular deviation using palatal ramp appliance

Prince Kumar, Chandni Jain, Ashish Kumar, Harkanwal Preet Singh.

Abstract
Segmental resection of the mandible generally results in deviation of the mandible to the defective side. This loss of continuity of the mandible destroys the balance of the lower face and leads to decreased mandibular function by deviation of the residual segment toward the surgical site. Prosthetic methods advocated to reduce or eliminate mandibular deviation include intermaxillary fixation, removable mandibular guide flange, palatal ramp, implant-supported prosthesis and palatal guidance restorations which may be useful in reducing mandibular deviation and improving masticatory performance and efficiency. These methods and restorations would be combined with a well organized mandibular exercise regimen. This clinical report describes the rehabilitation following segmental mandibulectomy using palatal ramp prosthesis.

Key words: Hemi-mandibulectomy, Rehabilitation, Palatal ramp, Carcinoma
