This study shows that reconstructing the maxilla with titanium mesh and flaps effectively restores mastication function. The method significantly improved bite force and occlusal contact, demonstrating its superiority in functional recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Maxillary defects pose significant challenges to oral function.
  • Traditional reconstruction methods may not fully restore masticatory efficiency.
  • Titanium mesh and flap techniques offer potential for advanced reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the masticatory function after maxillary reconstruction using individual titanium mesh with Chinese or fibular flaps.
  • To assess the effectiveness of this method in restoring both form and function.
  • To determine the superiority of this technique in functional reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Reconstruction of 10 maxillary defects using individual titanium mesh and Chinese or fibular flaps.

  • Fixation of routine removable partial dentures 3-6 months postoperatively.
  • Assessment of occlusal force using the T-Scan II system.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in bite force asymmetry and occlusal contact area asymmetry were observed postoperatively (P < 0.05).
    • The recovery rate of total occlusal force ranged from 27.05% to 74.06%, averaging 50.15%.
    • The technique demonstrated a satisfactory recovery of both contour and function.

    Conclusions:

    • The three-dimensional maxillary reconstruction using titanium mesh and flaps effectively restores masticatory function.
    • This method provides a satisfactory recent recovery in both contour and function.
    • The technique is a superior approach for maxillary functional reconstruction.
