Abstract

Maxillofacial reconstruction covers a wide range of procedures from dentoalveolar defects to composite defects involving muscle, skin, and bone. Maxillofacial reconstruction continues to evolve on a daily basis. In this chapter, we cover the considerations and implications in addressing the various maxillofacial defects. We also cover the different reconstruction options for addressing of soft tissue, hard tissue, and composite defects.
