Oral and maxillofacial tissues are a complex array of bone, cartilage, soft tissue, nerves and vasculature. Damage to these structures, even when minimal, usually leads to noticeable deformities. Therefore, the repair of large segmental bone defects of the jaw or mandible due to trauma, inflammation, or tumor surgery remains a major clinical problem. For many years, simple autogenic, allogenic,...

Maxillofacial deformities that result from trauma, developmental abnormalities, destructive cancer surgeries, surgically operated mucormycosis can be difficult for a person to deal with as it affects the esthetics and functions further degrades their quality of life. Hence, maxillofacial prosthesis not only corrects deformity but also boost self-confidence so patient live his/ her life fullest....

Background: The correction of craniofacial deformities is an ongoing challenge in maxillofacial surgery. However, conventional measurement methods for treatment planning are not appropriate Computer-assisted approaches can improve surgical outcomes. A new, non-invasive, patient-specific automatic method, proposed here, has been tested assisting the surgeon preoperative planning. Case Presentati...

Despite important advances in the prevention and treatment of physical trauma, the course of life of millions of people keeps changing every year [1]. Among a variety of types of trauma, the maxillofacial trauma stands out because of its importance, since it may cause aesthetic disfiguration and functional disabilities, besides physical damages [2] with emotional repercussions and the possibili...

malignancies of the midface result in cosmetic deformities that make maxillofacial prosthesis as an integral part of the treatment plan. facial defects can be devastating in their impact on physical structure and function of the affected individual, leading to potentional compromises in quality of life. reconstruction of nasal defects is a challenge for the prosthodontist because of esthetic an...

i ntroduction: the incidence and etiology of maxillofacial fractures vary widely between different countries. understanding the cause and pattern of these injuries can assist in establishing clinical and research priorities for more effective treatment and prevention of maxillofacial injuries. the study aimed to  evaluate  the  etiology  and  pattern  of  maxillofacial  fractures  in  trauma pa...

Background. Maxillofacial surgery, which took place in Ukraine as a separate legally recognized specialty, daily acquires its relevance. Treatment of inflammatory, oncological diseases, congenital malformations, defects and deformities the face touches person's face, has not only medical aesthetic, but also social significance society. The question arises readiness personnel reserve for such lo...

In maxillofacial surgery, every patient presents special problems requiring careful evaluation. Conventional methods to study the deformities are still reliable, but the advent of tridimensional (3D) imaging, especially computed tomography (CT) scan and laser scanning of casts, created the opportunity to better understanding the skeletal support and the soft tissue structures. Nowadays, virtual...

PURPOSE Rehabilitation of maxillofacial deformities is a challenging task because it involves not only a lot of skills and expertise but also many disciplines working in unison for optimum outcome. However, more often than not a prosthodontist is not a member of tumor board and consulted after surgery which affects the prognosis of the rehabilitation adversely. There was a perceived need to cre...
