“…In this case series we showed a case of microsurgical reconstruction after resection of OSCC in the maxilla that involved hard and soft palate. In cases of extensive tissue defects or those located in anterior regions that make the use of maxillary obturators unfeasible, microsurgical free flaps are indicated 9 , 10 . Thus, different types of flaps have been used to repair these maxillary defects, with a success rate of ~ 95%.…”

“…Thus, reconstructions with the placement of screw-retained plates have become a feasible option for oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation of these patients 2 , 8 , Extensive palatal-maxillary defects resulting from surgical resection in the hard or soft palate region imply a high rate of morbidity, psychological and functional alterations such as dysphagia, nasal regurgitation of food, poor masticatory function, hypernasal speech 9 , 10 , and loss of support for mid-facial soft tissues. Oral rehabilitation is essential and aims to replace the anatomical limits between the oral and nasal cavity and restore the functions of the stomatognathic system 9 , 10 . Therefore, the use of microvascular flaps and obturator prostheses are widely used for rehabilitation of palatal-maxillary defects, with satisfactory prognosis 11 .…”

Introduction and importance: Ablative surgery for oral cancer, irrespective of the histological subtype, causes large tissue defects, functional and aesthetic damage. Microsurgical free flaps have been widely used in reconstruction after resection, with satisfactory success rates in conjunction with adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). This study aims to describe our clinical institutional experience based on the multimodal treatment performed in four cases diagnosed with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma with the use of different microvascular free flaps and RT. Case series presentation: Four patients underwent reconstructive microsurgery after surgical resection of oral cancer, using three types of free flap: radial forearm fasciocutaneous, osteomyocutaneous fibular, and anterolateral thigh musculocutaneous flaps; RT was performed in Case 2 and Case 3. In the period of 03 years after microsurgical reconstruction and RT, flaps remain clinically stable without failure signs in full patients submitted to multimodal treatment. Clinical discussion: After resection of oral carcinomas, extensive tissue defects can be successfully treated with reconstructive microsurgery using different types of microvascular free flaps. RT for locoregional control is a feasible option and did not seem to interfere with the survival of flaps. Conclusion: An enhance long-term follow-up to assess overall and disease-free survival rates and quality of life must be carried out; however, cohort studies would be necessary for better understanding of the role of each treatment in the multimodal scheme.

Maxillary jaw abnormalities can be traumatic, acquired, congenital, developmental, or surgical, and they can have an impact on the mouth cavity and nearby anatomical tissues. If the soft palate and/or hard palate are lost whole or partially, the remaining tissues will have an inadequate structure or will no longer function as they once did. Defects can lead to nasal reflux during deglutition and influence speech production by affecting articulation and airflow. This study aims to explore postoperative oroantral or oral-nasal communication for patients who underwent partial maxillectomy and received prosthetic rehabilitation. The complete denture was fabricated with an extension into the defect. As a result, this permanent prosthesis improved the patient's masticatory function, speech clarity, and general quality of life.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the speech analysis in acquired maxillary defect patients treated with maxillary obturator. Materials and Methods: Total of 16 patients were considered in the study. The age group of these patients ranged from 40 to 75 years with a mean age of 59.5 years, irrespective of their gender. The surgical obturator was fabricated using self-cure acrylic. The surgical obturator was delivered immediately after surgery. After a healing period of about 2 weeks, the surgical obturator was replaced by an interim prosthesis. This was processed with the help of heat-cure polymethylmethacrylate. The total number of patients was divided into two groups, namely, (A) Definitive obturator group and (B) Interim obturator group. The speech intelligibility (SI), was analyzed. Results: The mean scores for SI before prosthesis in definitive and interim groups were 19.13 ± 3.22 and 19.87 ± 1.72, respectively. This was increased after prosthesis insertion to 24.38 ± 1.30 and 22.37 ± 1.18, which further increased after adaptation period of 2 months to 28.75 ± 1.28 and 24.62 ± 1.59 in two groups. Conclusion: The present study concluded that speech was severely affected by maxillary resection and that rehabilitation with maxillary obturator was successful in restoring these aspects of speech.
