Mixed Reality in the Reconstruction of Orbital Floor: An Experimental and Clinical Evaluative Study.

Introduction: Orbital floor fractures are common within midface fractures. Their management includes restoration of orbital volume and anatomy. However, these procedures could be associated with the mispositioning of implants and inadequate volume restoration.

Three-Dimensional Diagnosis in Orbital Reconstructive Surgery.

Introduction: Orbital floor fractures are common among mid-face fractures. The general aim of treatment is to restore orbital volume and anatomy with grafts or reconstructive materials. Malpositioning of the implants and inadequate volume restorations are common complications of these procedures.

Psychometric evaluation of Azeri version of the head and neck cancer specific quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N43).

Background: Oral cancer surgery can have a deep effect on the quality of life in the patient both in terms of functional and psychological aspects. This study aimed to translate and validate the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer head and neck cancer specific quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N43) in Azerbaijan.

Methods: Forward-backward translation was applied in order to translate the EORTC QLQ-H&N43 from English into Azeri.

The Use of Pectoralis Major Musculocutaneus and Deltopectoral Flaps in Oromandibular Defects Reconstruction.

The main complication in patients with combined treatment of head, neck, mandibular and maxillary tumors is osteoradionecrosis, which appears after radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is widely used to treat cancer, but growing concern is related to the risk of osteoradionecrosis after treatment. This can occur after radiation therapy.

Crouzon syndrome: Virtual planning of surgical treatment by application of internal distractors.

Crouzon syndrome is one of the frequent pathologies within craniosynostosis syndrome. Current progress in computers and biotechnologies allows improving surgical approach and forecasting final result of reconstruction as well. We present a case of successful surgical treatment of Crouzon syndrome, done by application of virtual planning allowing determining "monobloc" features, type of reconstruction and distraction protocol as well.

The Application of Virtual Planning and Navigation Devices for Mandible Reconstruction and Immediate Dental Implantation.

Routine reconstruction of subtotal defects of the mandible and orthopedic rehabilitation supported by dental implants is achieved by means of detailed planning and lasts over a year. This article shows the outcomes of single-stage surgical treatment and immediate orthopedic rehabilitation performed with the help of preoperative virtual computer simulation. 3D investigation of pathological and donor sites, virtual simulation of tumor resection, positioning of the dental implants into fibula, virtual flap bending and transfer, virtual bending of fixing reconstruction plates, and fabrication of navigation templates and bridge prosthesis supported by dental implants were done preoperatively.

Virtual bending of titanium reconstructive plates for mandibular defect bridging: review of three clinical cases.

The reconstruction of acquired mandibular defects due to ablative tumor surgery or traumatic injuries is still challenging. The gold standard in such treatment is application of reconstructive titanium plates, which should be contoured and adapted to the defect as much as possible because of their influence on postoperative functional and esthetic results. Traditionally, plate bending is achieved by trial and error intraoperatively.

Gingival granular cell tumor of the newborn: a case report and review of literature.

The etiology and histogenesis of granular cell tumor are still debated. Granular cell tumor of the newborn is considered to be a different entity than the adult form of this lesion with different immunohistochemical features. We present a case of a rare gingival granular cell tumor in a newborn and review the literature.
