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.

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.

Lipomatous pleomorphic adenoma in the hard palate: Report of a rare case with cyto-histo correlation and review.

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign tumor of the salivary glands. They are usually composed of epithelial/myoepithelial cells and chondromyxoid stroma. Extensive lipomatous differentiation is very rare.

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.
