(1) Background: The development of a biocompatible material for direct additive manufacturing maxillofacial extraoral prosthesis is still challenging task. aim the present study was to obtain photocurable PDMS, with nano TiO2 inclusions, directly 3D printing extraoral, prosthesis. biocompatibility newly obtained nanocomposite also investigated; (2) Methods: 2.5% (m/m) titania nanoparticles (TiO...

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: A maxillofacial prosthesis, an alternative to surgery for the rehabilitation of patients with facial disabilities (congenital or acquired due malignant disease trauma), are meant replace parts face missing areas bone and soft tissue restore oral functions such as swallowing, speech chewing, main goal being improve quality life patients. The conventional procedures prosthesis manufac...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Shore A hardness and surface roughness of two silicones for maxillofacial prosthetic treatment, under the influence of chemical disinfection and storage. Twenty-eight specimens were obtained, half of which were made of Silastic MDX 4-4210 silicone and, the other half were made of Silastic 732 RTV silicone. The specimens were divided into four groups...

Large maxillofacial defects from malignant tumor treatment are rarely rehabilitated by surgical reconstruction alone. Ameloblastic carcinoma, a rare aggressive odontogenic malignant tumor, requires wide surgical excision to gain a tumor-free margin. In the post-surgical defect, prosthetic rehabilitation is the treatment of choice to restore function and esthetics. Moreover, an intra-oral prosth...

The purpose of the present paper is to review available information on the methods of enhancing retention of maxillary obturators. A maxillofacial prosthesis used to close, cover, or maintain the integrity of the oral and nasal compartments resulting from a congenital, acquired, or developmental disease process, i.e. cancer, cleft palate, osteoradionecrosis of the palate. The prosthesis facilit...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence and oral characteristics of cancer patients treated with bisphosphonates in the oncology and maxillofacial prosthesis departments of the General Hospital of Mexico between 2011 and 2013. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included patients who received prior treatment with bisphosphonates; an intraoral examination was performed by 2 standar...

We propose a computationally efficient, bio-mechanically relevant soft-tissue simulation method for cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery. Special emphasis is given to comply with the current clinical workflow. A template-based facial muscle prediction was introduced to avoid laborious segmentation from medical images. In addition, transversely isotropic mass-tensor model (MTM) was applied to real...
