Case report of a patient with mandibulectomy followed up for 11 years.

Abstract

Mandibular deviation and rotation following mandibulectomy can significantly impact oral function and quality of life. The postoperative course of a 57-year-old patient who underwent mandibulectomy for oral cancer and findings over 11 years of follow-up observation to monitor changes in the mandibular position are described here. Based on the observations, it is important to raise awareness regarding the necessity of continued monitoring of mandible position and regular adjustments of prostheses for patients who have undergone mandibulectomy.
