Abstract: Maxillary defects can result from trauma, congenital malformation and other causes, but are mostly caused after malignant tumor resection. Postoperative defects of key anatomical structures severely damage the patient's esthetic appearance and cause the loss of swallowing, pronunciation, chewing and others functions, leading to physical and mental trauma. Therefore, the anatomical complexity of the maxilla makes reconstruction surgery one of the most difficult challenge for surgeons. However, there is no unified classification system or corresponding method for maxillary defect repair. This review is aimed at summarizing the classification system for maxillary defects, repair types, advantages and disadvantages, repair methods and future prospects of maxillary defect classification.

Key words: Classification, Maxillary defect, Prosthesis, Autologous tissue, Repair method

[2] ObjectiveTo analyze the association between the classification of blood pressure and retinal vessel diameter measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT). MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study that included 103 patients(103 eyes)with hypertension. Based on the classification of hypertension, the subjects were divided into three groups: the isolated systolic hypertension(ISH)(34 eyes), isolated diastolic hypertension(IDH)(34 eyes), and systolic combined with diastolic hypertension(SDH)(35 eyes)groups. Retinal vessel diameters were measured by SD-OCT. The differences among the central retinal arteriolar equivalents(CRAEs), the central retinal venular equivalents(CRVEs), and the artery-to-vein ratios(AVRs)of the three groups were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to evaluate the association between blood pressure and AVR. ResultsThere were significant differences among the CRAEs and AVRs of the three groups(F=4.543, 4.308; P=0.013, 0.016). The CRAE and AVR of the SDH group were the lowest; those of the IDH group were the highest. There were no significant differences among the CRVEs of the three groups(F=0.417, P=0.660). After correction for risk factors, such as gender and age, multivariate logistic regression showed that patients with high systolic blood pressure were more likely to have AVRs of < 0.7 (OR=1.080, P=0.015). ConclusionsAmong the three types of hypertension, SDH was associated with the lowest CRAE and AVR. High systolic pressure is a risk factor for AVRs of < 0.7..
