Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Consecutive, adult oral cancer patients of all socioeconomic strata, 18-70 years age range who are planned to undergo resection of the mandible (± upper alveolus) for oral cancer and reconstruction with the soft tissue flap. 2. Have a total of 6 or more teeth in the planned non-resected side of jaw 3. Have a mouth opening of at least 1.5 cm before surgery
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with planned major composite surgeries like subtotal/total glossectomy or total maxillectomy limiting oral function. 2. Planned Jaw reconstruction with bone/reconstruction plate and 3. Planned marginal mandibulectomy cases. 4. Non-consenting patient 5. Recurrence cases

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To measure and correlate the pattern of mandibular deviation to the extent of defect in segmental mandibulectomy the type of soft tissue flaps used for reconstruction and the effect of adjuvant radiation treatment. To evaluate and compare the deviation pattern in segmental mandibulectomy patients at different time points. Chewing efficiency comparison at different time points following surgery and adjuvant radiation. Chewing efficiency comparison in segmental mandibulectomy patients with the extent of the defect adjuvant radiation treatment and types of flap reconstructions. QOL comparison at different time points. QOL comparison at different time points in segmental mandibulectomy patients in segmental mandibulectomy patients with the extent of the defect adjuvant radiation treatment and types of flap reconstructions. Percentage efficiency of GBP prosthesis in deviation correction.
