METHODS OF STEP-BY-STEP ORTHOPEDIC REHABILITATION IN PATIENTS WITH MAXILLARY DEFECTS

To study the effectiveness of using various removable maxillary prostheses (including hollow and implant-retained types) at different stages of orthopedic rehabilitation in patients with complete postoperative maxillary defects. After COVID-19 infection, some patients continue to experience various complications in the maxillofacial region, including the development of jaw defects. These conditions negatively affect the physical, functional, and psycho-emotional state of patients, reducing their quality of life. The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of life of patients with jaw defects in the post-COVID period. Clinical and sociological methods were used in the study.
