“Defect Oriented Approach to Maxillofacial Reconstruction“
In this session, the speakers will present complications in reconstruction and regeneration with a one hour question and answer opportunity following the conclusion of both presentations.
8:00AM – 8:45AM |
The Case for Non-revascularized Autogenous Bone – Indications and LimitsMatteo Chiapasco, MD Session Overview: Critical size defects of the jaws following ablation of benign or malignant tumors, traumas, or severely atrophy generally need, if clinical conditions will allow it, a reconstruction to recreate acceptable conditions for the support of facial tissues and improve facial contour, mastication, and phonetics. The choice between reconstruction with revascularized or non-revascularized autogenous bone (with or without simultaneous soft tissue reconstruction) is still an important issue in the pre-operative decision-making process.

8:45AM – 9:30AM |
The Case for Vascularized Free Tissue TransferNicholas Makhoul, DMD, MD Session Overview: Reconstruction of the maxillofacial region poses many challenges and continues to be one of the most difficult tasks of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. In the past few decades, a focus on improving patient form and functionality has driven advancements in the field. With the advent of free microvascular tissue transfer, patients requiring large hard and soft tissue reconstruction have had improved results that what was acceptable in the past. In addition, our application of computer aided design and manufacturing has made predictable functional reconstruction even more attainable. Even with these recent advancements our pursuit for perfection has yet to be realized as we explore new methods to solve an age-old problem. Learning Objectives:

Matteo Chiapasco, MD, graduated in Medicine with a 
specialization in Maxillo-Facial Surgery from the University of Milan, Italy. He is currently Professor, Unit of Oral Surgery – Department of Biomedical, Surgical, and Dental Sciences, at the University of Milan. Since 2007 he has been Visiting Associate Professor at Loma Linda University, and he has been on faculty at Egas Moniz University, Lisbon, Portugal, since 2020. Dr. Chiapasco is a member of the European Board of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgeons and EAO. He is an ITI Fellow and Past President of numerous organizations, including the Italian Section of ITI, the Italian Society of Oral Surgery, and the Italian Society of Osseointegration. He is the Founder of the Italian Academy of Osseointegration (IAO). Dr. Chiapasco’s area of focus within OMS are orthognathic surgery and advanced preprosthetic surgery using techniques that are both “classical” (GBR, reconstructions with autogenous bone of severe atrophy, tumor defects, trauma sequelae, congenital malformations) and innovative (customized Ti-Meshes, et cetera). He has extensively lectured on these topics in the last 25 years all over the world. He is the author of approximately 340 publications on Italian Journals and 127 on international, peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Chiapasco is also the author and co-author of 15 textbooks, some of them translated in more than 10 languages.
Nicholas Makhoul, DMD, MD
Dr. Makhoul is dual degreed and boarded Oral and 
Maxillofacial Surgeon with sub-specialization in Maxillofacial Oncology and Microvascular Reconstructive Surgery. He received his BSc with distinction from the University of Alberta in Biochemistry, DMD at McGill University and his MD at the University of Michigan. He completed his clinical residency training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Michigan. After residency he also completed an accredited fellowship in Maxillofacial Oncology and Microvascular Surgery at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Makhoul also heads the Maxillofacial surgery unit at McGill University and has an active clinical practice in a broad field of oral and maxillofacial surgery
His research interests include tissue engineering composite vascularized flap for complex facial reconstruction as well as outcomes studies in patients undergoing complex maxillofacial surgery.
