Abstract

The objective of prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with hemimandibulectomy is to regain the masticatory function, comfort, esthetics, and self-esteem. This article presents a plan for the management of hemimandibulectomy with a removable maxillary double occlusal table prosthesis. A male patient, aged 43 years, was referred to Prosthodontic Out Patient Department with complaints of compromised aesthetics, difficulty in speaking, and lack of ability to chew. The patient underwent surgery 3 years ago in which hemimandibulectomy was performed due to oral squamous cell carcinoma. The patient had a Cantor and Curtis Type II defect. The mandible was resected distally from canine region on the right side of the arch. A prosthodontic device was planned with a double occlusal table, also known as twin occlusion prosthesis. The rehabilitation of hemimandibulectomy patients with a double occlusal table is of considerable importance. This report describes a simple prosthetic device that will help patients in regaining their functional and psychological well-being.
