The rehabilitation of a patient undergone maxillectomy requires a prosthesis that provides with the optimum appearance and functional results. Scarce literature has been published regarding the prevalence of maxillary defects related to palatal obturator prosthesis. This study evaluates the incidence of the maxillectomy defects among different age groups, gender, side involved, and etiology.
This is a prospective study of maxillectomy defects cases which reported and were treated in the department over a period of 2 years (2015-2017). Information regarding general identification, gender, and age at which the patient was operated for surgical resection of the maxilla or diagnosis of the tumor, affected side and etiology, and the time lag between surgical resection and rehabilitation was recorded from the clinical records of the patients.
A total of 30 patients reported to the department in the 2 years. However, the detailed data were available for only 22 patients, and these patients were treated in the department. Information regarding general identification, gender, and age at which the patient was operated for surgical resection of maxilla or diagnosis of the tumor, affected side and etiology, and the time lag between surgical resection and rehabilitation was recorded from the clinical records of the patients.
The finding of the study revealed a predominance of the males being more affected, with the predominance of the left side involvement over the right side, with most frequently involved the age group of 21-40 years, and the etiology revealed the predominance of carcinoma of the maxilla for its resection.
接受上颌骨切除术的患者康复需要一个能提供最佳外观和功能效果的假体。关于与腭托假体相关的上颌骨缺损患病率的文献较少。本研究评估了不同年龄组、性别、受累侧及病因的上颌骨切除术缺损的发生率。
这是一项对2年（2015 - 2017年）期间在该科室报告并接受治疗的上颌骨切除术缺损病例的前瞻性研究。从患者的临床记录中记录有关患者的一般识别信息、性别、上颌骨手术切除或肿瘤诊断时的年龄、受累侧及病因，以及手术切除与康复之间的时间间隔。
在这2年中共有30例患者到该科室就诊。然而，仅有22例患者有详细数据，且这些患者在该科室接受了治疗。从患者的临床记录中记录有关患者的一般识别信息、性别、上颌骨手术切除或肿瘤诊断时的年龄、受累侧及病因，以及手术切除与康复之间的时间间隔。
该研究结果显示男性受累更为普遍，左侧受累多于右侧，最常受累的年龄组为21 - 40岁，病因显示上颌骨癌切除术最为常见。
