Cosmetic reconstruction of extensive maxillary defects with cerclage wire alone or in combination with polypropylene mesh in 25 dogs (2017‐2023)
The technique that we report relies on readily available, cost-effective materials and can be successfully used for customised reconstruction of maxillary defects in dogs. Rate of complications should be compared to the standard reconstructive technique to determine if the use of maxillary implants results in higher risk of complications.
