  • Title: Combined Mandibular Guidance Therapy in the Management of a Hemimandibulectomy Patient.
    Author: Jamayet NB, Fard AY, Husein A, Ariffin Z, Alam MK.
    Journal: Int J Prosthodont; 2015; 28(6):624-6. PubMed ID: 26523724.
    Abstract:
    This case history report describes two different devices, maxillary ramp prostheses (MRP) and mandibular guide flange prostheses (MGFP), prescribed for managing a hemimandibulectomy patient's deviated mandible. The patient was given muscle reprogramming exercises with coordinated use of both guidance prostheses for 2 months, leading to improvements in both postsurgical mandibular deviation and occlusal equilibration. A successful intercuspal position was eventually accomplished through the use of the combination therapy. MRP and MGFP can be a useful approach to avoid mandibular deviation and compromised function following a partial mandibular resection.
