Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the flap design used in maxillary carcinoma at Saveetha Dental College. Methods: This study was conducted for the patients who visited the Department of oncology between 1st June 2019-1st April 2020. Data was extracted by reviewing the information of the patient. Results: Out of 57 patients 17 patients (30%) were diagnosed with maxillary carcinoma. There was male predilection in this sample with 58.82% males and 41.18% females. Weber-Fergusson approach along with the modifications was used in 76.47%, midfacial degloving in 17.65% and palatal swing approach in 5.68% of the patients with maxillary carcinoma. Conclusion: We conclude that maxillary carcinoma resection was done predominantly among males and the most common age group which underwent surgical treatment for the same were in the age group of 41 to 50 years. Among various flaps used to resect the tumor, Weber-Fergusson (76.47%) was used in the majority of cases. Association between gender and age and type of flap used of maxillary carcinoma resection was tested using Chi-square analysis and it was found to be not significant.&#13;
