Prosthetic rehabilitation of hemimandibulectomy patient, with an overlay denture, restores missing skeletal, dental structures, muscle imbalance, maxillomandibular relationship and occlusion. Conventional management with an acrylic ramp or guide plane guides only the non-resected side of the mandible to occlusion. This case report describes rehabilitation of a 13-year-old, hemimandibulectomy patient with tooth supported transitional overlay denture.
