Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To measure the mandibular deviation in segmental mandibulectomy patients and its correlation with chewing efficiency and QoL  single time  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate the mandibular deviation using dental midline, & mediolateral relation of maxillary & mandibular teeth.
Evaluation of extraoral deviation & its correlation with dental deviation & mediolateral relation of maxillary & mandibular teeth.
Analysis of deviation pattern with respect to time of surgical treatment, extent ofdefect, adjuvant treatment, use of guide bite prosthesis
Evaluate the functional outcome in terms of chewing efficiency using the mixing ability test & its correlation with the time of surgical treatment, the extent of defect, adjuvant treatment, use of guide bite prosthesis
Measure the QoL (quality of life) using EORTC QLQ-C30 & H&N35 & its correlation with the time of surgical treatment, the extent of defect, adjuvant treatment, & use of guide bite prosthesis. 
Baseline

As this study is a cross-sectional type of study all evaluations would be done at a single time for each participant whenever they would be reporting to the dental OPD. There will be only single-point data of all the participants & no follow-up data will be recorded & compared.
So we can say that baseline data will be collected as we have proposed a cross-sectional design of the study of mandibulectomy patients to study the amount of deviation.

Brief Summary  

Mandibulectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the mandible and this procedure is usually performed to treat oral cancer. Following a segmental mandibulectomy patients experience mandibular deviation towards the defect side if the continuity of the defect is not restored. Mandibular deviation can lead to functional in terms of mastication speech and swallowing and aesthetic as well as psychological issues thus adversely impacting the patient quality of life. Post-mandibulectomy rehabilitation involves a multidisciplinary approach which includes surgical reconstruction with bone or reconstruction plate the use of guide bite prosthesis and dental rehabilitation and physical therapy depending on the clinical situation and patients individual needs.

No literature is present describing the amount of mandibular deviation in mandibulectomy patients.

The aim of the proposed research is to analyze the mandibular deviation in segmental mandibulectomy patients and its effect on the masticatory efficiency and Quality of life in head and neck cancer patients.

This is a Cross-sectional observational study that will enroll the mandibulectomy patients reporting to the dental OPD based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

 

Outcome evaluation would quantify the degree of deviation in millimeters and assess the prevalence and severity of mandibular deviation. The deviations will be compared based on factors like the extent of the defect radiation treatment and prosthesis use. Chewing performance would be evaluated by the mixing ability. The chewing efficiency of study participants will be evaluated and compared between different subgroups based on the mentioned factors. The Quality of life would be evaluated by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and HN35. The outcome would assess the impact of mandibular deviation on the overall quality of life of participants and analyze differences in quality of life scores based on the time elapsed since surgery the extent of the defect radiation treatment and prosthesis use. The outcome would also analyze the effect of guide bite prosthesis usage on mandibular deviation chewing efficiency and quality of life by comparing outcomes between users at different time points.
