On constitutive modeling of soft tissue for the long-term prediction of cranio-maxillofacial surgery outcome

چکیده
In this paper, we discuss physically based approaches to the modeling of deformable soft tissue for the long-term prediction of patient’s postoperative appearance in cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery simulations. Since the biomechanical properties of living tissues and their numerical modeling are, in general, very complex, our focus is on the investigation of qualitative and quantitative differences between different physical models for the range of boundary value problems (BVP) typically appear in cranio-maxillofacial surgery.

Soft-Tissue Simulation for Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery: Clinical Needs and Technical Aspects
Computerized soft-tissue simulation can provide unprecedented means for predicting facial outlook pre-operatively. Surgeons can virtually perform several surgical plans to have the best surgical results for their patients while considering corresponding soft-tissue outcome. It could be used as an interactive communication tool with their patients as well. There has been comprehensive amount of ...
متن کاملA new soft-tissue simulation strategy for cranio-maxillofacial surgery using facial muscle template model.
We propose a computationally efficient, bio-mechanically relevant soft-tissue simulation method for cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery. Special emphasis is given to comply with the current clinical workflow. A template-based facial muscle prediction was introduced to avoid laborious segmentation from medical images. In addition, transversely isotropic mass-tensor model (MTM) was applied to real...
متن کاملReview of Nasal Soft Tissue alterations in Class III Malocclusion patients following Lefort I Osteotomy
Abstract Background and Aim: The primary aim of orthognathic surgery is to improve the aesthetic parameters of the face and dentition and to transform it into an acceptable clinical standard, which is often associated with the secondary aim of improving occlusal function. The most common treatment option for maxillofacial abnormalities in Class III malocclusion patients is bimaxillary surgery,...
متن کاملA Bilateral Pediculated Palatal Periosteal Connective Tissue Flap for Coverage of Large Bone Grafts in the Anterior Maxillary Region
Introduction: Coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. In edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. Here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for up...
متن کاملA fiber-reinforced Transversely Isotropic Constitutive Model for Liver Tissue
Biomechanical properties of soft tissue, such as liver, are important in modeling computer aided surgical procedures. Experimental evidences show that liver tissue is transversely isotropic. In this article, considering the liver tissue as an incompressible fiber-reinforced composite with one family of fibers, an exponential strain energy function (SEF) is proposed. The proposed SEF is based on...
