Abstract

Of the study was to improve algorithms and methods of complex dental rehabilitation of children and adolescents with maxillofacial neoplasms. Sixty-seven patients aged from 2 to 17 years (average age 10.43±4.56; 30 boys, 37 girls) underwent complex rehabilitation as a part of neoplasm treatment (40 benign, 27 malignant). Patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 aged 2 to 7 years; group 2 aged 8 to 12 years; group 3 aged 13 to 17 years. Structural integrity of upper and lower jaws was reconstructed using vascularized bone flaps (27 cases), non-vascularized bone flaps (5 cases), titanium reconstructive plates (11 cases) or individual titanium endoprostheses of the temporomandibular joint (2 cases). Orthodontic, orthopedic and surgical dental treatment was performed at all stages of rehabilitation of patients and had its own characteristics depending on the group affiliation. Algorithms for dental rehabilitation of children and adolescents with maxillofacial neoplasms have been improved on the base of performed treatment.
