Fabrication procedure for cranial prostheses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A procedure for duplication of cranial bone flaps used in cranioplasty is described. This procedure overcomes the difficulties inherent in direct duplication of irregular-shaped bone flaps through primary replication of the flap in wax. The wax pattern is used to fabricate the definitive prosthesis.

Fabrication of a Cranial Prosthesis Combined with an Ocular Prosthesis Using Rapid Prototyping: A Case Report
Rapid prototyping (RP) is a technique of manufacturing parts by the additive layer manufacturing technology; where, a three-dimensional (3D) model created in a computer aided design (CAD) system is sectioned into 2D profiles, which are further constructed by RP layer by layer. Its use is not limited to industrial or engineering fields and has extended to the medical field for the manufacturing ...
متن کاملDevelopment 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...
متن کاملFabrication of an Implant-Supported Orbital Prosthesis with Bar-Magnetic Attachment: A Clinical Report
Implant-supported craniofacial prostheses are made to restore defective areas in the face and cranium. This clinical report describes a technique for fabrication of an orbital prosthesis with three adjacent implants in the left lateral orbital rim of a 60-year-old woman. Selection of appropriate attachment system (individual magnetic abutments versus bar-clip attachment) for implant-supported o...
متن کاملPrototyping for surgical and prosthetic treatment.
Techniques of rapid prototyping were introduced in the 1980s in the field of engineering for the fabrication of a solid model based on a computed file. After its introduction in the biomedical field, several applications were raised for the fabrication of models to ease surgical planning and simulation in implantology, neurosurgery, and orthopedics, as well as for the fabrication of maxillofaci...
متن کاملCosmetic covers for lower-limb prostheses.
A soft cosmetic cover for use with modular endoskeletal prostheses is discussed. The reverse molding procedure, which is used to make a mirror image of a unilateral amputee's remaining anatomical limb, is described . This process reduces the time required to fabricate a cosmetic cover since no mechanical or artistic shaping is required to match the prosthetic limb to the anatomical limb. The re...
