Abstract

Maxillary defects resulting from trauma, congenital anomalies, or tumor resection can significantly impact a patient's function, aesthetics, and quality of life. The comprehensive management of such defects requires a multidisciplinary approach to restore both form and function. This case report presents the successful treatment of a maxillary defect using a combination of surgical reconstruction and interim obturator placement. A 45-year-old patient with a large maxillary defect resulting from tumor resection underwent surgical reconstruction using microvascular free tissue transfer. Following surgery, an interim obturator was fabricated to aid in speech, mastication, and aesthetics during the healing phase. The successful integration of surgical reconstruction and interim obturator placement resulted in improved facial symmetry, functional restoration, and enhanced patient satisfaction. This case demonstrates the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in achieving optimal outcomes for patients with maxillary defects.
