Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Hello all, I'm having a maxillary reduction Jan 14 (Le Fort I Maxillary Osteotomy). His resident did the work-up on me and went over the consent form. He did include 'necrosis' as a possible risk, meaning death to the upper jawbone and gum tissue. He (the resident) said the odds of that happening were in the order of 1 in 100,000, and that neither he nor my doctor have EVER seen it occur. My doctor said 'it simply doesn't happen anymore'. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this occurring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
