Abstract

Objectives

Maxillary impactions are seen as an orthognathic surgical movement that increases the number of complications. The aim of this paper is to research literature on this topic, with special attention to avoiding of complications.

Methods

A systematic review was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines. The PROSPERO registration has been performed. A risk of bias assessment was carried out with RevMan and graphics were created. A total of 20 articles were included in this systematic review.

Results

Some interesting and conclusive facts about maxillary impactions. Relapses are not common due to the higher bone contact. Bleeding is a common complication due to the location of palatal artery. Aesthetic and functional complications can arise, especially in the nasal region. Bimaxillary orthognathic surgeries has a higher incidence of complications.

Conclusions

Today it is not possible to confirm that maxillary impactions alone are responsible for a higher incidence of complications due to the complexity of the three-dimensional movements. Some surgical steps could be safer and cause fewer complications.
