pubmed-article:2087726 | pubmed:abstractText | The authors have developed a new working classification of residual defects of the maxillary alveolar process, anterior segment of the hard palate and oronasal anastomosis, based on the results of cheilo- and uranoplasty in 125 patients. The choice of present-day methods of surgery is based on the suggested working classification scheme. The known methods of surgical management of the residual defects are described and new methods developed by the authors suggested, permitting an effective shortening of the terms of surgical rehabilitation and yielding stable functional and aesthetic results. | lld:pubmed |
