Causes of Bony defects of the
mandible

 Tumor resection
 Trauma
 Inflammatory disease
 Osteoradionecrosis
Disabilities of mandibulectomy
patients
1. Impaired speech articulation
2. Difficulty in swallowing
3. Occlusion discrepancy
4. Deviation of the mandible
during functional movements
5. Compromised control of
salivary secretions
6. disfigurement
Predisposing factors of oral
cancer
 The exact cause of oral cancer is
unknown (carcinogenic initiator)
1. Viruses
2. Dentures
3. Alcohol
4. Tobacco
5. Leukoplakia
6. Oral lichen
planus
Classification of Mandibular
Defects

I. Cantor and Curtis classification


 Depend on extent of the defect and
the method of reconstruction
II. Second classification
classify mandibular
defects into two main
groups
1. Marginal resection
2. Segmental resection
Cantor and Curtis classification
Class I: Radical alveolectomy
with preservation of
mandibular continuity
Class II: Lateral resection distal
to the cuspid area
Class III: Lateral resection to
the midline
Class IV: Lateral bone graft and
surgical
reconstruction
Class V: Anterior bone graft and
surgical
reconstruction
Class VI: Anterior resection
without surgical
reconstruction
Marginal resection

 It involves the alveolar bone


 The basal bone with the soft tissues
are intact
 Mandibular continuity is retain
 The muscles of mastication are
intact
 The mandibular movement is not
Problems associated with alveolar
resection
1. Loss of vertical
ridge height
2. Loss of vestibular
depth
3. Loss of load
bearing tissues
available for
support
4. Tethered border
tissues limit the
Segmental Resection
 A complete resection of a
segment of the mandible
(mandibular discontinuity )
 the function of the
remaining mandibular
segment is severely
compromised
 The mandible is deviated
towards the resected side
 The mandibular occlusal
plane is rotated inferiorly
Problems associated with
Segmental resection

1. Facial
disfigurement
2. Loss of occlusal
contact
3. Loss of ability for
lip approximation
for proper
salivary control
Management of mandibular deviation
I. Intermaxillary
fixation
II. Physio-therapy
III. Mandibular
guidance prosthesis
A.Lower mandibular
guidance prosthesis
(Buccal training
flange)
B. Upper mandibular
guidance prosthesis
(Palatal ramp)
Mandibular guidance prosthesis
 The earlier mandibular
guidance therapy is
initiated the more
successful
 Presence of teeth is an
important requirement
for construction of
guidance prosthesis
 All guidance prostheses
considered as interim
basis until acceptable
occlusal relationships is
re-established
A.Lower mandibular guidance
prosthesis
(Buccal training flange)
 Indication
 When the mandible manipulated into an
acceptable maxillomandibular
relationship but the patient lacks the
motor control to bring the mandible into
occlusion
Buccal training flange
 Design
1. RPD framework with a metal flange
extending 7 to 10 mm laterally and
superiorly on the buccal side of the
bicuspids, and molars on the non-defect
side
2. Flange engages the upper teeth during
mandibular closure so directing the
mandible into an intercuspal position
B. Upper mandibular guidance
prosthesis

(Palatal ramp)
 Indication
 patients with severe
mandibular deviation
Palatal ramp

 Design
 Maxillary prosthesis
constructed of acrylic resin
with cast- or wrought-wire
clasps
 The mandible is manipulated
laterally toward the desired
position
 The occlusal contact with
the palatal prosthesis is
established in a prepared
acrylic resin index in the
palate
Palatal ramp
 Design
 This index is palatal to the
maxillary teeth and the
patient should be able to
close into the index, using
appropriate manual
manipulation of the
mandible.
 The index should not extend
below the level of the
maxillary teeth because if it
does, it may interfere with
speech, deglutition.
