Multidisciplinary treatment of the edentulous maxillectomy defect after trauma: A case report with a 2.5-year follow-up

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT This clinical report is aimed at describing a novel multidisciplinary management of a 40-year-old male patient presented with a severely k strophic edentulous ridge, a unilateral maxillary defect and an oroantral fistula induced by trauma. The patient-specifical planning workflow consisted of tooth extractions, guided bone regeneration, maxillary sinus floor elevation, dental and zygomatic implant placement, soft tissue augmentation, oroantral fistula closure, and rehabilitation. Several dental disciplines were embraced through the therapeutic period. During the 2.5-year follow-up period, the morphological and functional disorders were recovered clinically and radiographically without concurrent complications. Therefore, a suitable and thorough plan for complicated clinical situations should include various medical branches or sub-branches to ensure a predictable achievement with long-term stability.
