  • Title: Reconstruction of hard and soft tissue maxillofacial defects.
    Author: Harris CM, Laughlin R.
    Journal: Atlas Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am; 2013 Mar; 21(1):127-38. PubMed ID: 23498337.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of maxillofacial composite defects is a technically demanding and time-demanding process. It also requires a prolonged treatment course, a team approach, and meticulous planning that is prosthetic and esthetically driven. The use of vascularized flap reconstruction, dental implants, and computer-aided technology and advances in maxillofacial prosthetics has contributed immensely toward the goal of fully reconstructing victims of large avulsive wounds. Further advances in technology, surgical training, and maxillofacial prosthodontics will undoubtedly aid in minimizing the number of surgical interventions and maximize the final functional and esthetic results of these patients.
