Computer-aided reconstruction of traumatic fronto-orbital osseous defects: aesthetic considerations.

Reconstruction of Maxillofacial Osseous Defects with Computer-Aided Designed/Computer-Aided Manufactured Devices

Three-dimensional alloplastic orbital reconstruction in skull base surgery.

INTRODUCTION The orbit may be directly involved by neoplasms or other destructive processes arising from the orbital contents, the osseous framework or, indirectly, as extensions of extraorbital tumors from the sinuses or cranial vault. In most osseous neoplasms of the orbit, and in tumors with extension into the orbit from surrounding areas, resection of part or all of the orbital walls will b...

Development and application of a rapid rehabilitation system for reconstruction of maxillofacial soft-tissue defects related to war and traumatic injuries

BACKGROUND The application of a maxillofacial prosthesis is an alternative to surgery in functional-aesthetic facial reconstruction. Computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing has opened up a new approach to the fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses. An intelligentized rapid simulative design and manufacturing system for prostheses was developed to facilitate the prosthesis fabricatio...

Intraoperative stereotactic navigation for reconstruction in zygomatic-orbital trauma.

Reconstruction of the maxillofacial skeleton after traumatic injury is not always straightforward because of its three dimensional complex anatomy and aesthetic significance. In case of zygomatic-orbital injury induced by trauma resulting in enophthalmos, the patient is affected on both function and cosmesis. To prevent diplopia or conspicuous asymmetry, exact correction of the orbital symmetry...

Reconstruction of a maxillary defect with a fibula graft and titanium mesh using CAD/CAM techniques.

We present a case of maxillary and orbital floor reconstruction with a microvascular fibula graft and an individualized titanium mesh. Both were planned virtually; templates were made by rapid prototyping. The postoperative computer tomography scans showed that the planned positions were achieved correctly. This case report illustrates maxillary reconstruction performed with a special template ...
