Abstract
Hemimandibulectomy and free fibular flap (FFF) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma could disturb the functional movement of the mandible. The muscular function in the sectioned side was compromised because of the incompetency of the muscle attachment to the mandible, leading to the unstable occlusal contact in the centric and eccentric occlusion. In this report, we present a case of a 63-year-old male who underwent cancer surgery and reconstruction with fibular graft, and he needed a fixed dental prosthesis to restore tooth loss in the anterior region. Occlusal contact change and instability were found according to the bite force in the centric relation and eccentric movement. This case report aimed to present the prosthetic procedure for fabricating the functionally optimized fixed prosthesis wherein the functionally generated path (FGP) technique and digital imaging method were applied to replicate mandibular movement and vertical dimension of the patient.
