Postsurgical malocclusion is a possible sequela of care following segmental mandibulectomy and osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction. Patient-specific factors may make surgical correction an impossibility. In addition, conservative occlusal adjustments may be insufficient for correction of the occlusion. An alternative approach for the management of severe postoperative malocclusion is to fabricate a maxillary occlusal splint, which establishes interocclusal articulating surfaces and facilitates mastication. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the technique and utility of a maxillary prosthesis to correct posttreatment malocclusion in the oncologic patient.
节段性下颌骨切除术和骨皮游离皮瓣重建术后，手术性错牙合畸形是一种可能的后遗症。患者的个体因素可能使手术矫正无法进行。此外，保守的咬合调整可能不足以矫正咬合。治疗严重术后错牙合畸形的另一种方法是制作上颌咬合夹板，它能建立牙合间的咬合面并促进咀嚼。本报告的目的是展示一种上颌修复体矫正肿瘤患者治疗后错牙合畸形的技术和效用。
