Bioceramic Implant for Complex Maxillofacial Reconstruction: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reconstructive surgery of complex three-dimensional defects of the midface/maxilla following treatment of advanced squmous cell carcinoma of the maxilla is challenging. Primary or secondary reconstruction using autogenous bone grafts or alloplastic materials are standard procedures, however such procedures may be associated with complications. In particular secondary reconstructions often require individualized surgical techniques. As an alternative approach a calcium phosphate-based implant (OssDsign AB, Uppsala, Sweden) was developed and was successfully used in cranial bone defects. Computer-assisted planning in combination with patient-specific implants has been described in the recent craniofacial literature. The present case report describes for the first time the use of a patient-specific calcium phosphate implant to restore an extensive midface and maxillary defect in a patient who had previously undergone midface and maxillary resection, adjuvant chemoradiation and secondary reconstruction which failed.

متن کاملRehabilitation of an Auricular Defect Using Surgical Stent
Reconstruction of a facial defect is a complex modality either surgically or prosthetically, depending on the site, size, etiology, severity, age, and the patient’s expectation. Loss of an auricle, in the presence of an auditory canal, affects hearing, because the auricle gathers sound and directs it into the canal. The auricle acts as a resonator to slightly amplify lower frequency sound...

Facial reconstruction is one of the most challenging problems faced by a reconstructive surgeon. We present a case of complex facial reconstruction with a composite trauma to the nose resulting in near total loss of skin and lining along with complete loss of left eyebrow with exposed frontal bone and partial loss of the left eyelid. We combined a temporoparietal fascial flap for reconstruction...

Augmentation of deficient and atrophic alveolar ridges is an important aspect of dental implant therapy with the goal of providing a functional restoration in harmony with adjacent natural dentition. Bone splitting technique is considered a distinguished augmentation method for treatment of deficient alveolar ridges. According to this procedure, the compromised alveolar ridge is opened from the...
