Abstract:
Revision surgery for occlusal correction in facial trauma is a highly specialized and technically demanding aspect of reconstructive surgery. While contemporary practices in primary fracture management have reduced the incidence of posttraumatic malocclusion, circumstances such as delayed treatment, insufficient fracture reduction, overlooked injuries, and complex comminution continue to create challenging cases in which revision becomes inevitable. Effective secondary correction of occlusion involves a deep understanding of both trauma principles and orthognathic concepts, rigorous diagnostic steps and precise surgical technique.
