Abstract:
Severe panfacial trauma require broad reconstructive procedures. As in the case presented, a primary reconstruction with ideal aesthetic outcome cannot be reached in every case. If not, these cases often require further reconstructive procedures. What this can be and how long this could take, this article intends to show. This case report presents the history of a today 30 year old male patient with a severe central midfacial comminuted fracture with preexisting Angle class II and comprehensive reconstruction.
