Primary reconstruction of the maxilla after the resection of ossifying fibroma: Report of a case

Facial deformity and many oral functional obstructions have been caused by maxillary resection. In many cases, they are usually restored by maxillofacial prosthesis. But anchoring of a maxillofacial prosthesis on the residual dentition leads to its premature destruction. And retention of the prosthesis is usually unsatisfactory when it can no longer be anchored on a residual dentition. Therefore, late reconstruction of large maxillary defects has been infrequently performed. We had an experience in primary reconstruction using fresh autogenous iliac bone graft after the resection of ossifying fibroma in the maxilla, and will report it hereunder.
