Résumé

Squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most prevalent cancers affecting the oral cavity. Rehabilitation following surgical treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach and care. Multiple disabilities such as dysarthria, dysphagia, unesthetic appearance, and psychosocial disorders following the surgery for carcinoma can greatly impact the quality of life of such patients, thereby necessitating multidisciplinary intervention. The clinician has to wait for the healing of the lesion and the effects of radiotherapy to be dwindled in case a secondary osseous grafting is planned. During this time lag until a more definitive prosthesis is planned, an interim prosthesis is must to correct the mandibular deviation due to the unilateral muscular pull. This case presentation describes the utilization of guiding flange prosthesis (GFP) as an interim modality for the establishment of a stable and functional maxillomandibular relationship following combined ipsilateral partial mandibulectomy and maxillectomy.
