Introduction Computer assisted technologies based on algorithmic software segmentation are an increasing topic of interest in complex surgical cases. However—due to functional instability, time consuming processes, personnel resources or licensed-based financial costs many processes often outsourced from clinical centers third parties and the industry. Therefore, aim this trial was assess practical feasibility easy available, stable licensed-free approach be used practice. Material methods...
Bilateral sagittal split osteotomy is a commonly used, standard procedure in orthognathic surgery to correct malocclusion and jaw misalignment. Postoperative vascular complications are extremely rare under-reported the literature. This contribution presents case of 48-year-old male patient who underwent bilateral due class II skeletal malocclusion. There were no abnormalities during surgery. However, developed facial palsy experienced pulse-synchronised murmur. Computed tomographic...
Abstract Purpose this study retrospectively analyzed the rate of screwed implant insertion and risk factors in patients undergoing mandibular reconstruction with microsurgical revascularized fibula flaps. Methods This all microvascularized grafts between 1997 2005. Collected data included general (e.g., smoking, alcohol use), irradiation was main predictor variable. The number rehabilitated dental implants success were evaluated, possible influencing identified, results compared previously...
This work addresses the topic of extrusion-based additive manufacturing (filament-based material extrusion) patient-specific biofunctional maxillofacial implants. The technical approach was chosen to overcome shortcomings medically established fabrication processes such as a limited availability materials or long times. goal successful basic implants for defect reconstruction. underlying vision is implants' clinic-internal and operation-accompanying application. Following literature search,...
The oral cavity is densely populated with microorganisms. As a result, intraoral surgical sites are prone to contamination by pathogens, potentially triggering site infections (SSIs). Prophylactic antibiotics have proven beneficial in reducing the rate of SSIs. However, no consensus has been reached regarding most effective regimen. purpose this study was investigate two different antibiotic regimens - single-dose and prolonged prophylaxis severity postoperative SSIs patients undergoing...
The aim of this publication is to provide a concept for prevention and standardized step-by-step clinical approach rare but serious potentially preventable complication dental local anesthesia.We collected data with PUBMED search using the key words "local anesthesia," "dental anesthesia/anesthesia" OR "mandibular block "complication," "hypodermic needle," "needle breakage" fracture," "foreign body AND removal" "retrieval." existing literature was systematically evaluated from 1980 date...
Ample data exists about the high precision of three-dimensional (3D) scanning devices and their acquisition facial surface. However, a question remains regarding which landmarks are reliable if identified in 3D images taken under clinical circumstances. Sources error to be addressed could technical, user dependent, or patient respectively anatomy related. Based on photos with 3dMDface system, intra observer repeatability 27 six cleft lip (CL) infants one non-CL infant was evaluated based...
Orbital floor fractures are generally the result of blowout orbital and may be associated with emphysema leading to proptosis even loss vision. A 49-year-old woman fractured in a fall. After blowing her nose, she developed exophthalmos severe reduction She consulted our department underwent emergency surgical management drainage. Decompression led immediate resolution postoperative improvement visual acuity. Urgent decompression is indicated by presence proptosis, elevated intraocular...
Medical augmented reality (AR) is an increasingly important topic in many medical fields. AR enables x-ray vision to see through real world objects. In medicine, this offers pre-, intra- or post-interventional visualization of "hidden" structures. contrast a classical monitor view, applications provide not only on but also relation the patient. However, research and development challenging, because unique patient-specific anatomies pathologies. Working with several patients during for weeks...
Extensive defects in the head and neck area often require use of advanced free flap reconstruction techniques. In this study, thoracodorsal perforator-scapular technique based on angular artery (TDAP-Scap-aa flap) was postoperatively evaluated regarding quality life donor site morbidity using standardized SF-36 DASH questionnaires (short form health 36 disabilities arm, shoulder hand scores). Over a five-year period (2016−2020), 20 selected cases (n = 20) requiring both soft hard tissue were...
