Abstract
The most challenging and appreciated area in the field of Prosthodontics is the rehabilitation of mandibular defects. Tumors of the head and neck, trauma and surgery are the most common causes for acquired maxillofacial defects. Surgical consequences predispose the patient to deviation of mouth, fluid leakage, impaired masticatory function, phonetics and cosmetic deformity. The Prosthodontists play a significant role in the intervention and improve the quality of life of such patients. The participants will learn to make a guiding flange for correction of mandibular deviation in hemi-mandibulectomy cases.
Objective: To develop knowledge on etiology for mandibular defect, classify the nature and extent of defect and learn the clinical procedures like impression making, fabrication of guiding flange, designing of the final prosthesis and maintenance of the prosthesis. Also learn the various type of materials used for rehabilitation of different type of mandibular defect.
