The use of titanium mesh sheet in the frontozygma tico‐orbital region. Case reports

Abstract

Six cases reconstructed in the zygomatico-frontoorbital region with titanium mesh are reported and a discussion of the use of this material in oral and maxillofacial surgery is presented.

Individually preformed titanium mesh implants for a true-to-original repair of orbital fractures

“…Titanium implants have been successfully used for more than a decade in orbital reconstruction 9,27,28,35,44 . For the correction of enophthalmos deformities titanium mesh is used to cover extensive defects in the internal orbit for the restoration of the orbital volume 11 .…”

Metals for bone implants. Part 1. Powder metallurgy and implant rendering

“…Current standard of care involves stabilization with permanent titanium plates replacing the bulwark of the resected mandible [8][9][10]. Because the gingiva (gums) do not integrate well with titanium, it is common to transplant and affix fibular or iliac bone to these titanium plates [11,12].…”

Open Surgical Management of an Asymptomatic Giant Frontal Sinus Osteoma

“…8 Titanium mesh systems present several advantages, such as excellent biocompatibility, easy handling and shaping, reasonable stability, and versatility. 3,4,9 Moreover, a minimal imaging artifact can be observed on magnetic resonance and CT imaging, 3,10 and there is little concern that the mesh alone could be visible through the skin. An important issue associated with the use of titanium mesh is the low susceptibility to infection, even when in direct contact with paranasal sinuses, 4 that makes it an ideal material for frontal sinus restoration.…”
