Morphometric Variation of Maxilla in Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital INTRODUCTION Morphometry is a quantitative method to gather data on changes and variances in organism forms that explain the correlation between diseases Morphometric measurements are frequently utilized for surgical procedures, follow-ups, and diagnosis. Knowing the locations of significant structures and reference sources is necessary to provide crucial information for surgical procedures. Additionally, a solid understanding of anatomy is the best against structural change 2. One-third of the face is made up of the The maxilla forms the upper jaw and is located between the orbit and the upper jaw. Maxilla is crucial in supporting the viscerocranium and occupies the central position, sustaining the Each maxilla has a pyramid-like shape. base borders the nasal, its apex borders the zygomatic process, and its central part is connected to the maxillary sinus. The maxilla is connected to the surrounding structures through 4 processes: alveolar, frontal, zygomatic and palatine. The maxilla articulates with the frontal bone, the lateral side with the zygoma, the posterior side with the palatine, and the upper teeth with the inferior alveolar process. On the anterior side, it has inferior and lateral borders with the piriform aperture and articulates with the medial side of the nasal bone 4. In general, there are four races in the world: Mongoloid. Negroid. Caucasoid, and others. Mongoloid is divided into Proto-Malay and Deutro-Malay. The Proto-Malay race consists of Batak. Nias. Mentawai. Dayak. Sasak. Toraja, and Ambon 5. Facial morphology is unique and typical of each patient, and it has essential aspects for diagnosis, management, and prognosis. Facial morphology can be determined using parameters such as posterior and anterior facial height ratio (Jarabak's rati. MP-SN angle, & gonial angle 6. The dimensions of the facial arch can be determined by the length of the arch, the width of the arch and the height of the palate. Several factors affect the dimensions of the arch, such as genetics, gender, bone growth and developmental Jurnal Plastik Rekonstruksi. Vol. No. 2, 2024 and environmental factors, such as muscle pressure and stomatognathic 7. The study of maxillary anatomy is essential for Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic surgeons as a guide for maxillary reconstruction. Patients who require maxillary reconstruction such as due to tumor ablation, trauma patients such as fractures, bone loss, and others. Maxillary defects due to tumour resection or trauma can cause severe functional and aesthetic In the past, maxillary defects were covered with thick prostheses. Although the results are acceptable in many cases, patients may be dissatisfied for several reasons. Removable prostheses must be strong enough for speech, swallowing, and cosmetics. Poor durability can lead to leakage and oronasal regurgitation. Patients must maintain good hygiene in the surgical wound and around the prosthesis 8. The goals of maxillary reconstruction are to close the defect and form the structure of the midface, restore oral and nasal function, and restore facial esthetics. To achieve these goals, maxillary reconstruction must be performed accurately to obtain two benefits. First, high accuracy is required in cases involving orbital floor reconstruction to correct the position of the eyeballs to prevent enophthalmos and diplopia. Second, high accuracy is necessary when dental implants are positioned during reconstruction to obtain proper occlusion 9. Defects in the maxilla caused by tumour resection or trauma can cause functional and aesthetic disorders. Maxillary reconstruction with a free fibular flap has many advantages for longterm application. Some of the advantages: . Long vascular pedicle, . wider diameter of the peroneal vessel, . fibular bone, skin, and muscle as a flap, . easier transplant and lower morbidity, . 2 teams of surgery can work along, . fibula contour easier to mould, . suitable recipient for an implant. In a prior study, 33 patients stated that the ability to chew returned. In at least 7 months, 26 patients returned to a regular diet and seven patients on a soft diet. The speech clarity of each patient was assessed after 6 months post-surgery. The speech clarity test of the patients had a score of 8 to 100 percent, where the average ranged from The aesthetic assessment was assessed from Copyright by Muzakkie. Toline. Devi. , & Maritska.

In this study, 96 samples were collected by following the inclusion criteria (Ou20 years old patient in Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital who performed head CT scan with 3D reconstructio. and exclusion criteria . atient with maxilla fracture or history of maxilla fracture, tumor in maxilla region or metastatic around maxilla region, edentulous on whole teeth or one of molar 2 or premola. Data was collected from the Department of Radiology Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital using a Head CT scan with 3D Various techniques are currently available to improve reconstruction results and achieve functional and aesthetic goals. One technique that can be used is 3D printing, which involves forming a curved plate according to each patient's size. Patient-specific implant (PSI) is an approach to personalized and aesthetic reconstruction of missing body parts 10 However, not all health facilities have 3D printing facilities as a reference for reconstruction to obtain a harmonious maxilla contour and achieve functional occlusion. So, this study is needed to assess the average size of the maxilla in Indonesia because there is no maxilla morphometry in Indonesians. In this study, maxilla morphometry can be specified in females and men in the scope of the Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, which can guide the reconstruction of the maxilla.

From the samples obtained, it was found that the dimensions of the female maxilla had an average value of intercanine width, intermolar width, and palate height that was smaller than that of males. In contrast, the male arch length had an average value that was smaller than that of Table 1. Result From Female Variables Data Female Valid Missing Mean Median Std.

Previous studies that discuss the overall facial dimensions have significant results from 3 Except for the arch length, the dimensions of the male face are more significant than the overall facial dimensions of women. This difference in facial dimensions is likely due to genetics, hormones, and the environment, such as nutrition and masticatory muscles. It can be concluded that the results of the dimensions of the male and female maxilla, which are larger, can also be influenced by the consistency of food consumed by patients, which makes the masticatory muscles stronger and the dimensions of the maxilla become larger and vice versa, food with a soft consistency can cause a narrower maxilla 12. CONCLUSION Currently, not every educational centre and health care has 3D printing facilities as a guidance for maxillary reconstruction defect closure. Good maxillary reconstruction can obtain a harmonious maxillary contour and achieve functional The research data on the average maxillary dimensions in men and women obtained are expected to be a reference size that helps perform maxillary reconstruction according to gender, which will be beneficial for patients and the Plastic.
