Summary

Glandular odontogenic cysts can cause significant jaw bone defects. Bone transport distraction and dental implants effectively reconstructed the defect and restored function in a case study.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Dental Implantology

Background:

  • Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare, potentially aggressive odontogenic tumor causing jaw bone defects.
  • Surgical treatment of GOC can lead to significant maxillary or mandibular bone loss.
  • Reconstruction of large bone defects after GOC resection presents a reconstructive challenge.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old male presented with a large maxillary bone defect following GOC treatment.
  • Anterior partial maxillectomy was performed, necessitating complex bone reconstruction.
  • Bone transport distraction was utilized to bridge the osseous defect.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent successful anterior partial maxillectomy and bone reconstruction using distraction osteogenesis.

  • Osseous defect reconstruction with bone transport distraction provided adequate bone volume for dental rehabilitation.
  • Implant-supported overdenture restored dental and occlusal function, with high patient satisfaction.

    • Implications:

    • Bone transport distraction is a viable technique for reconstructing large maxillary defects after GOC resection.
    • Comprehensive rehabilitation with dental implants and overdentures can achieve functional and aesthetic outcomes.
    • Long-term follow-up is crucial to monitor for GOC recurrence and assess reconstructive success.
