Abstract
- Purpose This clinical study assessed the reverse facial artery–submental artery mandibular osteomuscular flap with titanium dental implants for the functional reconstruction of maxillary defects. Patients and Methods Class 2a defects in 5 patients were repaired with a reverse facial artery–submental artery mandibular osteomuscular flap with titanium dental implants (n = 21). All patients received a fixed partial denture after a 3- to 6-month healing period. Results All lesions were widely excised in an area extending to the maxilla. Of the implants, 20 (95.2%) were loaded and 1 was lost before loading. Reconstruction with a fixed partial denture was successful in all patients. The patients were followed up for 12 to 20 months (mean, 15.8 months), and no recurrence was observed. Conclusion The reverse facial artery–submental artery mandibular osteomuscular flap with titanium dental implants is safe, quick, and simple to elevate and is reliable for the functional reconstruction of maxillary defects.
