A 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 کاملEvaluating soft tissue simulation in maxillofacial surgery using preoperative and postoperative CT scans
One of the most important issue in soft tissue modeling is to assess the quality of the simulations. A validation protocol is presented based on two CT scans of the patient acquired before and after craniomaxillofacial surgery. The actual bone repositioning realized during the intervention are accurately measured and reproduced. An evaluation of the soft tissue deformation is then computed usin...
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 کاملIdeal Soft Tissue Facial Profile in Iranian Males and Females: Clinical Implications
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...
متن کاملSoft-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 کاملOn constitutive modeling of soft tissue for the long-term prediction of cranio-maxillofacial surgery outcome
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 diff...
