Rehabilitation of Reconstructed Maxilla Using Denture-Guided Epithelial Regeneration in DCIA Flap: 10-Year Follow-Up

This 10-year follow-up report describes the interdisciplinary comprehensive management of a patient with aneurysmal bone cyst of the maxilla in a 24-year-old patient. The treatment included resection and primary reconstruction with vascularized deep circumflex iliac artery-based composite free flap, implant placement, and peri-implant soft tissue management using denture-guided epithelial regeneration with interim dentures. Definitive management was done using implant-supported cast partial dentures, and the patient followed up for 10 years.
