Comparison of Linear and Non-linear Soft Tissue Models with Post-operative CT Scan in Maxillofacial Surgery

چکیده
A Finite Element model of the face soft tissue is proposed to simulate the morphological outcomes of maxillofacial surgery. Three modelling options are implemented: a linear elastic model with small and large deformation hypothesis, and an hyperelastic Mooney-Rivlin model. An evaluation procedure based on a qualitative and quantitative comparison of the simulations with a post-operative CT scan is detailed. It is then applied to one clinical case to evaluate the differences between the three models, and with the actual patient morphology. First results shows in particular that for a “simple” clinical procedure where stress is less than 20%, a linear model seams sufficient for a correct modelling.

P atient specific finite element model of the face soft tissues for q computer - assisted maxillofacial surgery *
This paper addresses the prediction of face soft tissue deformations resulting from bone repositioning in maxillofacial surgery. A generic 3D Finite Element model of the face soft tissues was developed. Face muscles are defined in the mesh as embedded structures, with different mechanical properties (transverse isotropy, stiffness depending on muscle contraction). Simulations of face deformatio...

Introduction Up to now, standardized and validated methods for monitoring linear scleroderma of the face are still lacking. Therefore, it is difficult to assess, in these patients, the disease progression both for therapeutic purposes and maxillofacial surgery procedures. The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an imaging technique that has good sensitivity for both soft and the bony tissue...

BACKGROUND Proper pre-operative facial analysis that includes a thorough evaluation of both the bony and soft tissue anatomy is paramount to success in performing aesthetic surgery of the face. Ethnic variations in soft tissue profile add an important variable to pre-operative facial analysis. The aim of our study was to determine the role of ethnic variations in soft tissue facial profiles th...
