Segmental hemimandibulectomy is the partial resection of the mandible owing to oral neoplasms. This causes deviation of the remaining mandible segment towards the resected side and loss of continuity. Prosthetic rehabilitation plays a vital role in such cases. The case report discussed in this article was a case of segmental hemimandibulectomy which had been rehabilitated with the use of three osseointegrated implants in the remaining bone site. An overdenture was supported on the implants with ball attachments. This case report presents an alternate way to rehabilitate a patient with partial mandibular resection when surgical reconstruction is not possible.
