Fresh frozen allograft bone is routinely used in orthopedic surgery for the reconstruction of large bone defects, and its use in oral and maxillofacial surgery is increasing. The purpose of this case was to demonstrate the installation of dental implants and the use of fresh frozen bone for reconstruction of anterior maxilla in the same surgery. This case report presents the insertion of dental...

Acquired facial defect may cause functional and psychological impairments that adversely affect patient’s quality of life. Restoration of facial defect can be done surgically, prosthetically, or acombination of both. The choice depends on many factors like size, location of defect, prognosis of tumor, and patient’s desire. Aggressive tumor with high recurrence rate increases the risk of complic...

Giriş: Çene-yüz protezlerinin yenilenmesi gerekliliğini doğuran başlıca sebeplerden biri, protezde kullanılan silikon elastomerlerin fiziksel ve mekanik özelliklerinin zayıflamasıdır. Bu özellikler içinde sertlik, protezin çevre doku ile uyumlu hareketini etkilediğinden dokularda irritasyona neden olabildiğinden dolayı önemlidir. Amaç: çalışmanın amacı, çene-yüz protezinde elastomere eklenen re...

Maxillofacial defects either congenital or acquired, lead to a marked loss of both the functional efficiency and aesthetic profile of the affected individuals. Plastic surgery and tissue reconstruction is the treatment of choice. However, in certain clinical scenarios, removable and/or fixed obturator prosthesis can be the only option available. The management of these critical cases should be ...

The cosmetic and functional disabilities following radical surgery for traumatic injuries are significant and disabling. Definitive reconstruction should be performed wherever possible as part of the ablative procedure. When definitive reconstruction is coordinated and combined with maxillofacial prosthetic rehabilitation, head and neck defects can be restored to near-normal function and appear...

The early computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems were relied exclusively on subtractive methods. In recent years, additive methods by employing rapid prototyping (RP) have progressed rapidly in various fields of dentistry as they have the potential to overcome known drawbacks of subtractive techniques such as fit problems. RP techniques have been exploited to build...

Acquired defects of the maxillofacial region require orthopedic treatment. When choosing a structural material for manufacture jaw prosthesis, it is necessary to provide functional loads on prosthesis during operation. Defects in bones with high strength characteristics. The article deals method increasing polyamide dental nanoscale titanium dioxide. Objective: improve characteristics structure...

Maxillofacial defects create physical, emotional and mental problems for the patient. The task of surgical-prosthetic rehabilitation is to provide best possible functional esthetic solution. aim this paper was present a modern approach auricular defect rehabilitation. A 24-year-old patient with lack right ear lobe due trauma admited aesthetic Implant-retained prosthesis indicated. Three implant...

Preprosthetic surgeries are generally dealt with surgical procedures performed to facilitate fabrication of prosthesis or improve the prognosis of prosthodontic care. In general the surgical procedures include various soft and hard tissue procedures which are restricted intraorally. Maxillofacial prosthodontics is not restricted to restorations performed intra-orally. Various extraoral surgical...
