Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 18 to 70 year-old patient who has undergone resection of the mandible for Ca gingivobuccal complex (± upper alveolus) reconstructed with the soft tissue flap. The post-surgery duration is at least 3 months or more. Have a total of 6 or more teeth in both arches of the non-resected quadrant. Have a mouth opening of at least 1.5 cm
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients with major intra-oral defects such as total glossectomy or total maxillectomy limiting oral function. Jaw reconstructed with bone or reconstruction plate Non-consenting patients
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To measure the mandibular deviation in segmental mandibulectomy patients and its correlation with chewing efficiency and QoLTimepoint: single time | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the mandibular deviation using dental midline, & mediolateral relation of maxillary & mandibular teeth. Evaluation of extraoral deviation & its correlation with dental deviation & mediolateral relation of maxillary & mandibular teeth. Analysis of deviation pattern with respect to time of surgical treatment, extent ofdefect, adjuvant treatment, use of guide bite prosthesis Evaluate the functional outcome in terms of chewing efficiency using the mixing ability test & its correlation with the time of surgical treatment, the extent of defect, adjuvant treatment, use of guide bite prosthesis Measure the QoL (quality of life) using EORTC QLQ-C30 & H&N35 & its correlation with the time of surgical treatment, the extent of defect, adjuvant treatment, & use of guide bite prosthesis.Timepoint: Baseline As this study is a cross-sectional type of study all evaluations would be done at a single time for each participant whenever they would be reporting to the dental OPD. There will be only single-point data of all the participants & no follow-up data will be recorded & compared. So we can say that baseline data will be collected as we have proposed a cross-sectional design of the study of mandibulectomy patients to study the amount of deviation. | — |
