Reconstruction of maxillary anterior defect using autogenous bone graft-A case report.

Abstract

Maxilla-mandibular discontinuity produces severe cosmetic and functional deformities. There are many options available for the reconstruction of the maxilla-mandibular osseous defects. Alloplastic materials like organic calcium salts or synthetic materials such as methylmethacylate, proplast and Teflon and larger reconstruction plates, have all been used for reconstruction with varying degrees of success. At present, autogenous bone grafting is the gold standard and mainstay for maxilla-mandibular bony reconstruction. Key Words- Autogenous bone graft, Maxillary defect, Classification
