Maxillary reconstruction restores midface form and function after defects. This review covers anatomy, historical methods, and modern techniques for complex cases, including dental rehabilitation.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • The maxilla is central to midfacial structure, impacting orbits, nose, and jaw.
  • Maxillary defects are complex, often involving multiple components and requiring bone, lining, and skin.
  • Reconstruction aims to close defects, restore function (mastication, speech), provide support, and achieve aesthetic results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the anatomy relevant to maxillary reconstruction.
  • To discuss historical and current techniques for maxillary reconstruction.
  • To emphasize state-of-the-art methods and dental rehabilitation for extensive defects.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of anatomical considerations.
  • Analysis of historical and contemporary surgical approaches.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Evaluation of techniques for functional and aesthetic restoration.

    • Main Results:

    • Maxillary reconstruction is complex due to the midface's interconnectedness.
    • Composite defects necessitate multi-tissue reconstruction (bone, lining, skin).
    • Modern techniques focus on comprehensive restoration and dental rehabilitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Successful maxillary reconstruction requires understanding complex anatomy and defect types.
    • A multi-faceted approach is crucial for restoring function and aesthetics.
    • Advanced techniques offer improved outcomes for extensive maxillary defects.
