Surgical removal of tumors in mandible leads to discontinuity of bone. Loss of mandibular continuity causes deviation of remaining mandibular segment towards the resected side and rotation inferiorly due to muscle pull and scar contracture affecting mastication and esthetics. The resection can be total or segmental depending on the lesion. The restoration of the masticatory function is most important. Cosmetic improvement is rarely sufficient to restore the patient’s face to the normal facial contour. Surgical reconstruction may not be always possible. Thus Prosthetic rehabilitation plays a major role in these patients. Cast partial denture prosthesis for mandibular defects is a permanent solution to mandibular deviations, as surgical reconstruction by implants and grafts is always not feasible in every patient. This clinical report describes rehabilitation of Cantor and Curtis Class II Mandibular Defect using simple and most effective prosthesis, Cast Partial Denture in economic constraints.
Keywords; Cantor and Curtis II, Hemimandibulectomy, Cast Partial Denture, Prosthetic Rehabilitation.
