ABSTRACT

A maxillary fracture may be caused by high velocity or other high power injuries to the face. In cases of a simple wall fracture, plate, screw and free bone graft are preferred methods of repair. However, in cases with complex wall fractures or wall defects, these methods are not adequate because of problems such as permanent bony defects and facial depression. Therefore, we used the micro-titanium mesh as reconstructive material for a maxillary wall defect. The micro-titanium mesh was found to have morphological stability and biocompatibility. The mesh structure prevented soft tissue ingrowths to the bone defect area. Therefore, micro-titanium mesh can be used successfully for cases where indicated for repair of maxillary sinus defects. So we successfully reconstructed the maxillary sinus anterior wall defect with surgical mesh. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2006;17:146-149)
