Background : Optimal functional and aesthetical mandibular reconstruction with free flaps remains a challenge. With the introduction of virtual treatment planning and CAD/CAM manufacturing in the last decade, a true…
Background and objectives : The reconstruction of TMJ after tumour resection is still challenging. It is because of complex anatomy and function of this region and imperfect reconstruction modalities. Nowadays…
Background : Oral dental rehabilitation after ablative surgery in head and neck cancer is demanding. Besides soft tissue deficiencies due to resection and scarring, bony reconstruction has an important impact…
Communication between the surgeon, the pathologist and the radiation oncologist is improved by a virtual model of the final resection combining 3D imaging with computer aided navigation. In this pilot…
Objectives : The foramen tympanicum or foramen of Huschke is a persistent anatomic variation of the temporal bone due to a defect in ossification normal bone physiology in neonatal or…
Background/Objectives : Microvascular fibular free flap reconstruction of the maxillofacial complex is a popular method to return form and function after traumatic and pathologic tissue ablation. We hypothesized that computer-assisted…

Introduction : Poly- l -lactic acid is a synthetic material belonging to the family of α-hydroxyl acids, with several applications in medicine, ranging from nanomedicine to resorbable osteosynthesis material. As…
Purpose : Fat grafts have always represented a challenge in terms of inducing the necessary neoangiogenesis, which results in significant resorption. This study was designed to compare the efficiency of…
