Aramany's classification of postsurgical maxillectomy defects was introduced for partially edentulous situations, and has been widely used for education and effective communication among practitioners. Numerous classifications of maxillofacial defects, based on surgical procedure, resultant defects, or prosthodontist's perspective after rehabilitation, exist in the literature. However, no single classification has incorporated all these factors. The purpose of this review was to highlight the classification systems and describe a pragmatic classification series for edentulous maxillary arch defects (maxillectomy) by applying the Aramany classification criteria, to enhance treatment outcomes and communication among practitioners.
