Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Maxillary defects significantly impair speech, swallowing, mastication, and aesthetics.
  • Current rehabilitation relies on obturator prostheses or surgical reconstruction, with varied methods and classifications.
  • Established oncologic safety and orbital management remain areas needing further clarification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the rationale and oncologic safety of maxillary defect reconstruction.
  • To critically analyze existing classification systems and reconstructive techniques.
  • To discuss controversies, orbital management, surgical morbidity, and recent advances.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of maxillary reconstruction techniques.
  • Critical analysis of classification systems and oncologic safety data.
  • Review of orbital management strategies and surgical complications.

Main Results:

  • Maxillary reconstruction is complex, with no universally accepted classification or definitive oncologic safety evidence.
  • Various reconstructive methods exist, but tissue engineering has not yielded reliable results.
  • Orbital management and surgical morbidity associated with maxillectomy require further attention.

Conclusions:

  • Maxillary reconstruction requires careful consideration of function, aesthetics, and oncologic principles.
  • Further research is needed to establish standardized classifications and confirm oncologic safety.
  • An evidence-based algorithm for maxillary reconstruction is presented based on clinical experience.
