Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Disease free individuals who are treated for oral cancer within the age group of 18-70 years. 2. Patients who underwent prosthetic rehabilitation after segmental mandibulectomy with or without resconstruction. 3. Patients who have opposing natural or rehabilitated dentition. 4. The patients who are willing to give consent and able to complete study assessments, and other requirements.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Patients with neuromuscular and TMJ disease. 2.Patient with severe trismus. 3.Those patients who cannot achieve occlusion with manual manipulation. 4.Those patients who underwent segmental mandibulectomy with and without reconstruction and have never received a prosthesis.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.The primary outcome of this study is the measurement of the mean maximum bite force (MMBF) in patients who underwent prosthetic rehabilitation following SM with and without reconstruction. 2.The co-primary outcome of this study is the comparison of the mean maximum bite force (MMBF) in patients with segmental mandibulectomy with and without reconstruction. Timepoint: 0 to 12 Months: Patient screening, consenting, recruitment and collection of data 12-18 Months: Compilation of data, statistical analysis and publication.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Comparison of the chewing efficiency amongst patients using implant supported prosthesis (ISP) following free fibula reconstruction (FFOCF) after SM to patients without osseous reconstruction and rehabilitated with guide bite prosthesis (GBP). 2. Measurement of patient satisfaction by means of QOL measurement using LORQv3 questionnaire. 3. Qualitative analysis to assess experiences of head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors with segmental mandibulectomy, specifically how prosthetic rehabilitation affected their lives, and healthcare experiences. Timepoint: 0 to 12 Months: Patient screening, consenting, recruitment and collection of data 12-18 Months: Compilation of data, statistical analysis and publication.
