this paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

injection of synthetic fillers for soft tissue augmentation is increasing over the last decade. one of the most common materials used is hyaluronic acid (ha) that is safe and temporary filler for soft tissue augmentation. we present a case of 54-year-old female who experienced vascular occlusion and nasal alar necrosis following ha injection to the nasolabial folds. she suffered from pain, necr...

It is becoming widely accepted that volume changes in the skin and soft tissue contribute greatly to age-related facial reshaping. A significant contribution to these volume changes is the loss of craniofacial skeletal support to the overlying soft tissue. Gravity, once considered the major culprit in facial aging, is now recognized to determine the direction, rather than the extent, of tissue ...

Facial tissue loss is acquired as a result of congenital anomalies or acquisitional misshapen like tumoral lesions accidents. These defects in functional problems, esthetic concerns, and also psychosocial troubles could be repaired by plastic surgery reconstructed using facial prostheses. Conventional tissue-supported auricular prostheses meet lots challenges due to dependence on undercut adhes...

The reconstruction of facial soft tissue is an essential processing phase in the fields of forensics, anthropology as well as maxillofacial surgery. In the first two areas the working subject is a skull find of a deceased where the soft tissue needs to be reconstructed. In forensics, this work helps to identify skeletons from open cases of death. In anthropology, the comparison of facial featur...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate and quantify dynamic soft-tissue strain in the human face using real-time 3-dimensional imaging technology. METHODS Thirteen subjects (8 women, 5 men) between the ages of 18 and 70 were imaged using a dual-camera system and 3-dimensional optical analysis (ARAMIS, Trilion Quality Systems, Pa.). Each subject was imaged at rest and with the followi...

Facial feature analysis is a basis examination in everyday orthodontics practice. Traditionally it was carried out using the patients photographs and callipers. Although the devices for scanning 3D surfaces have been developed since last decade of XX century their use in supporting orthodontics diagnosis have been limited due to availability and prices. The present work examine the possibility ...

Management of facial soft tissue trauma requires complex reconstruction surgery. Animal bite on face is a common cause of facial tissue trauma with severe destruction. Evaluation of unit involvement is the first effort, followed by designation of reconstruction. In this case, we performed multiple reconstruction options.

The surgical correction of soft tissue defects on the facial aspects of dental implants is documented as an unpredictable procedure. Since the customization of the prosthetic emergence profile contributes significantly to the final esthetic outcome of the soft tissue, a combined surgical-prosthetic approach has been described in the literature. In the case presented in this article, a multidisc...

Purpose. The aim of the present prospective study was to investigate correlations between 3D facial soft tissue scan and lateral cephalometric radiography measurements. Materials and Methods. The study sample comprised 312 subjects of Caucasian ethnic origin. Exclusion criteria were all the craniofacial anomalies, noticeable asymmetries, and previous or current orthodontic treatment. A cephalom...
