Upper jaw bone destruction
My mother suffered from covid 2 years back. After recovering doctor diagnosed that she was having osteomyelitis on her upper jaw near maxillary sinus bone, to treat which the bone was removed. Now there is no partition between nose and mouth in the right side. Can anyone please suggest if we can get reconstruction without extraction any existing bones from the body.
