Mandibular reconstruction is conventionally performed freehand, CAD/CAM-assisted, or by using partially adjustable resection aids. CAD/CAM-assisted reconstructions are usually done in cooperation with osteosynthesis manufacturers, which entails additional costs and longer lead time. The purpose of this study to analyze an in-house, open-source software-based solution for virtual planning.All consecutive cases between January 2019 April 2021 that underwent (Blender) mandibular a free fibula...
Abstract Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has been implemented in the treatment of cleft lip palates (CLP) by several research groups. This pilot study presents a technique that combines intraoral molding with semi-automated plate generation 3D-printing. The clinical results two approaches are compared. is first investigation molding. Our included newborns unilateral CLP. Plaster models were digitalized measured independent observers. Two methods...
Mandibular reconstruction with the fibula free flap (FFF) is performed freehand, CAD/CAM-assisted, or by using partially adjustable resection/reconstruction aids. The two latter options represent contemporary reconstructive solutions of recent decade. purpose this study was to compare both auxiliary techniques regard feasibility, accuracy, and operative parameters.The first twenty consecutively operated patients requiring a mandibular (within angle-to-angle) FFF resection aids between...
Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) aims to improve nasal symmetry with a stent in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients. When plates have be exchanged because of dentoalveolar growth or reduction, the has mounted onto new plate. This procedure elongates visiting hours for patients parents requires second treatment sessions. study introduces quick-lock additive manufacturing solution chairside exchange called RapidNAM. A novel taping retention pin been designed that enables insertion. Patients...
Passive alveolar molding (PAM) and nasoalveolar (NAM) are established presurgical infant orthodontic (PSIO) therapies for cleft lip palate (CLP) patients. PAM guides maxillary growth with a modified Hotz appliance, while NAM also uses extraoral taping includes nasal stents. The effects of these techniques on arch have rarely been compared.We retrospectively compared 3D-scanned models obtained before after PSIO from infants unilateral, non-syndromic CLP treated (n = 16) versus 13). Nine...
Abstract Objectives Simultaneous, radiation-free registration of the teeth and upper lower jaw positions in relation to extraoral soft tissue could improve treatment planning documentation. The purpose this study is describe a workflow solve form surface acquisition with mobile device. Methods Facial scans ten healthy participants were taken using blue-light LED 3D scanner (Artec® Space Spider; Artec® Group; Luxembourg). An impression maxillary dentoalveolar arch was simultaneously photo...
Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) is an accepted presurgical treatment modality for newborns with cleft lip and palate (CLP). However, the therapy time-consuming requires high expertise. To facilitate treatment, we reveal algorithm automated generation of patient individual NAM devices neonates bilateral (BCLP) present results software validation.The was implemented utilizing Python 2.7 Blender 2.78a based on 17 digitized (3D-scanning) impressions maxillae BCLP. The segments alveolar structures,...
Abstract Objectives Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) was developed to facilitate easier treatment and better outcomes for cleft lip palate (CLP) patients. The aim of this study investigate the parental burden possible intercultural differences modality, which is often argued parents an extraordinary amount. Materials methods Standardized questionnaires (available in English, Mandarin, German) with 15 non-specific 14 NAM-specific items be retrospectively answered by Likert scales unilateral CLP...
Abstract Background Perforator imaging is routinely performed before perforator flap harvest. Hand-held Doppler (hhD) and color duplex ultrasonography (CDU) are currently the most popular radiation-free methods for this purpose that can be applied by surgeon alone. The aim of study was to compare accuracy, reliability, feasibility hhD CDU with indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in anterolateral thigh (ALTPF). Methods All consecutive ALTPF procedures between May 2017 April 2018 were...
Abstract Background New 3D technologies for superficial soft tissue changes, especially in plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures, can improve the planning documentation of facial surgeries. The purpose this study was to compare determine applicability feasibility three different 3D-photography systems clinical practice imaging nose. Methods A total 16 healthy non-operated noses were included prospective study. plaster model each nose produced, digitized, converted a .stl mesh (=...
With the technical development, portable three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry systems are becoming more en vogue because of cost-effectiveness and comparable accuracy to common stationary 3D systems. The purpose study was evaluate feasibility a low-budget system for image acquisition with special regard gracile nasal region in neonates. Furthermore, aimed establish data set first 180 days post partum.Thirty-three healthy, full-term newborn were enrolled photographs prospectively taken...
Most odontogenic and intraoral abscesses can be treated on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia. However, severe disease progression may require incision under general anesthesia (GA) postoperative inpatient treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the first "COVID-19 year" in Germany compare two previous years. All consecutive cases or setting between 2018 2021 were included this study. Data collected, including type of anesthesia, length hospital stay, healthcare costs. Despite lower...
Perforator imaging is a prerequisite in preoperative planning of the peroneal perforator flap and fibula skin island. Although reports indicate that indocyanine green angiography assessment method might be advantageous over conventional ultrasound-based techniques (i.e., Doppler color duplex), practice, clear evidence lacking. Thus, comparative utility identification suitable lower leg perforators was performed.A prospective clinical cohort study with series 12 consecutive patients conducted...
Abstract Purpose Currently, maxillary sinus floor (SF) elevation is based on off-the-shelf allogeneic, xenogeneic or synthetic bone augmentation materials (BAM) that are implanted via an open lateral wall approach (OSFE). However, this invasive method associated with postoperative complications caused by inadequate blood supply of the alveolar ridge. Balloon-assisted procedures minimal alternatives lower complication rates. The aim was to evaluate local new (NB) formation in SF following...
Abstract Objectives Microvascular anastomoses in microvascular reconstructions induce rheological changes the anastomosed vessels and are usually counteracted by anticoagulative medication. There is no regimen commonly agreed on. This study provides an easy to use regimen. Patients Methods Consecutive cases of either between 2013 2018 that underwent reconstruction head neck area were included this retrospective study, resulting 400 total. Two different regimens applied 200 patients each...
