Reconstruction
• Restoration of form and function lost in the defective structure
Graft
• Tissue which is transplanted and expected to become part of the host
Donor
• A person or as site that donates of biological tissue or an organ of the human
body from a living or dead person to a living recipient in need of at
ransplantation.

Free graft
• A graft transplanted without its nourishing blood supply; must undergo
revascularization from the recipient bed
Vascularized graft
• The state of a graft after the recipient vasculature has been connected
with the vessels in the graft
Pedicled graft
• The soft tissue remaining on the graft attach to the donor site to
insure vascularity

Blood supply of gingiva and investing
structures
1. The dental artery: a branch of the superior or inferior alveolar artery
2. Intraseptal artery: enters the tooth socket
3. Rami perforantes: terminal branches of the intraseptal artery; they penetrate the tooth socket
and enter the periodontal ligament space where they anastomose (join) with the blood vessels
from the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament
4. Supraperiosteal blood vessels: located in the free gingiva and are the main supply of the
blood to the free gingiva; these vessels anastomose with blood vessels from the alveolar
bone and periodontal ligament
5. Subepithelial plexus: branches of the supraperiosteal blood vessels located in the connective
tissue beneath the free and attached gingiva
6. Periodontal ligament vessels: supply the periodontal ligament and form a complex network of
vessels that surrounds the root
7. Dentogingival plexus: a fine-meshed network of blood vessels located in the connective tissue
beneath the gingival sulcus

Definition
• The process by which the body is trying to achieve anatomical
integrity of the injured part and to restore full function
• As a secondary consideration, this should be combined with an
attempt to produce as perfect a cosmetic result as possible

The structure of bone
The 4 characteristics of bone tissue are
1. Dense matrix containing deposits of calcium salts
2. bone cells within lacunae, which are organized around blood vessels
3. Canaliculi form pathways for blood vessels to exchange nutrients and
wastes
4. Outer surfaces of bones are covered by periosteum consisting of outer
fibrous and inner cellular layers

The functional unit of Bone
• It consists of cylindrical shaped
lamellar bone that surrounds
longitudinally oriented vascular
channels called haversian canals
• Horizontally oriented canals
(Volkmann canals) connect adjacent
osteons
• The mechanical strength of cortical
bone depends on the tight packing
of the osteons

Principles of treatment of maxillofacial
trauma
• Reduction
• Restoration of anatomical form
• Restoration of function
• Establish proper occlusion
• Fixation (Immobilization)
• Stabilization
• Prevention of infection
44. Highlights On Maxillofacial Reconstruction Hesham El-Hawary
• Control of the residual segments
• Restore the continuity
• Restore the occlusion
• Restore the condylar position
• Fixation (Immobilization)
• Stabilization
• Provide good soft tissue bed for the graft
• Improve the soft tissue bed
• Remove the scare tissue
• Flap rest on sound tissue
• Aseptic environment
• Prevention of infection
46. Highlights On Maxillofacial Reconstruction Hesham El-Hawary
• The healing of grafts is unique among connective
tissues because new bone formation arises from
tissue regeneration rather than from simple tissue
repair with scar formation (Marx, Saunders 1986)
47. Highlights On Maxillofacial Reconstruction Hesham El-Hawary
• Two phase theory
• Transplanted cells proliferation
• Angeogenesis and fibroblasts proliferation from graft bed
• Immune response
• Autogenous grafts : recognized as self
• Allografts:
• Latent period depend on similarity
• Cell mediated immune response
• Methods to decrease graft rejection
• Immunosuppression drugs
• Alteration of the antigenicity of graft by
• Freezing, boiling, dry heating, irradiation

Principles of bone regeneration
• Osteogenic:
The material contains active osteoblasts or will stimulate
predetermined osteoprogenitor cells and mature osteoblasts to form
bone. Osteogenic materials will advance cell proliferation.
Examples: Bonemarrow, autologous bone-
transplant, demineralized bone matrix (DMB), or
TGB- (transforming growth factor)
50. Highlights On Maxillofacial Reconstruction Hesham El-Hawary
Principles of bone regeneration
• Osteoinductive:
The material will stimulate non-predetermined cells, (i.e. mesenchymal
stemcells) to convert into chondroprogenitor or osteoprogenitor cells.
Osteoinductive materials will advance cell differentiation.
Examples: BMP (bone morphogentic proteins), bonemarrow (contains
BMP), autologous bone (contains BMP), and demineralized bone
matrix (DMB)
51. Highlights On Maxillofacial Reconstruction Hesham El-Hawary
Principles of bone regeneration
• Osteoconductive:
The material will function as a matrix for the ingrowth of bloodvessels,
cells, formation of cartilage and deposit of mineralized tissue.
Osteoconductive materials support osseous regeneration by the
matrix effect.
Examples: Demineralized bone matrix (DMP), bone transplantat,
hydroxylapatite, and tricalcium phosphate

• Most operators prefer 2ry reconstruction
• Factors govern the choice are
• Irradiation
• Infection
• Recurrence
• Amount of soft tissue
• Patient health condition
• For malignancies wait 2 years before reconstruction except for chin to
avoid backward retraction that leads to suffocation
