    Summary

    This study examined a surgical technique for maxillary osteotomy, finding it supports bone healing and revascularization for up to 28 days. The method ensures adequate blood supply, with minimal progressive bone death observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Surgical Research
    • Bone Healing Biology

    Background:

    • Segmental total maxillary osteotomy is a complex procedure.
    • Maintaining vascularity to mobilized bone segments is critical for healing.
    • Existing techniques may compromise blood supply to maxillary segments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel technique for segmental total maxillary osteotomy.
    • To assess the effects of dual soft tissue pedicles on osseous revascularization and healing.
    • To determine the viability of maxillary segments up to 28 days post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Single-stage, four-segment total maxillary osteotomies were performed in five adult male rhesus monkeys.
    • A technique maintaining dual soft tissue pedicles (palatal and labiobuccal) was employed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Histologic examination of maxillary segments was conducted at intervals from immediate to 28 days post-operation.

    • Main Results:

    • The dual soft tissue pedicle technique adequately supported total maxillary osteotomy through 28 days.
    • Sufficient blood supply was maintained to the anterior maxillary segment by the soft tissue flap.
    • While all bony segments showed transient effects on healing and viability, marginal osteonecrosis was not progressive.

    Conclusions:

    • The studied technique is effective in maintaining vascularity and supporting healing in segmental total maxillary osteotomy.
    • The dual pedicle approach appears safe for maxillary bone segments in the short term.
    • Further investigation is needed to clarify the effects on dental pulp vitality.
