Quantitate evaluation of photogrammetry with CT scanning for orbital defect

Abstract

Facial deformities can be caused by cancer, tumours, trauma, infections, congenital or acquired defects and may lead to alteration in basic functions such as communication, breathing, and mastication and aesthetic thereby affecting quality of life. Traditional processes for manufacturing maxillofacial prostheses involve complicated, time-consuming and tedious processes for the patient and the operator. Impression of the defect area, which is the one of the crucial step in fabrication of prosthesis, is the longest and most difficult process as it requires a long contact with the patient. The digital revolution is now changing the landscape of prosthetic production and making the impression making procedure simpler. Digital technology reduces patient chair side time by providing more accurate display data in less time (3–5 min) than traditional methods. Digital impressions eliminate the need for bulky impression materials and provide a more comfortable patient experience.

Rapid Smile Restoration: Basal Implants for the Edentulous Mandible With Immediate Loading

“…Restrictive splinting of the metal framework should be done as soon as feasible since the remodeling of the bone begins within 72 hours and diminishes the peri-implant bone structures. The masticatory forces generated in the bone surrounding the implants are distributed to other cortical locations by splinting [20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
