Synopsis

This presentation will outline a comprehensive approach to complex maxillofacial defects which utilizes the combination of free tissue transfer and implant surgery. It will detail flap selection and their limitations, timing and sequence of the surgical as well as prosthetic rehabilitation, it will also focus on complications and , and how to manage them.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:

  1. Enhance the reconstructive goals through comprehension of the true architectural tissue defect as well as composite flap selection.
  2. Review the timing and sequencing of implant based rehabilitation to improve the reconstructive outcome.
  3. Discuss the selection process for secondary revision surgery in order to meet all the reconstruction goals.
