RESUMO
Trauma in the maxillary-facial region can causes loss of mucous, dental and bone tissues, particularly in cases of ballistic trauma in which the explosive force disperses the affected tissues to some distance. This circumstance greatly complicates functional rehabilitation, a process requiring not only the construction of prostheses to replace the lost dental structures, but also the reconstruction of the mucous and bone tissues that will support the prostheses. Using methods involving the formation of pedicle bone grafts and the use of implantation techniques, it has been possible to guarantee a satisfactory functional rehabilitation, and in addition good results from the point of view of appearance have been obtained.
