Article Synopsis
- This paper discusses the use of mixed reality (MR) technology during surgeries for patients with congenital craniofacial malformations, highlighting two specific cases.
- In the first case involving bilateral hemifacial microsomia, MR glasses (HoloLens 2) displayed a hologram of the osteotomy line validated by a physical guide, while the second case with Crouzon's syndrome used MR to show osteotomy sites, validated by a traditional navigation system.
- The study emphasizes the benefits of MR, such as time and cost savings, continuous visibility in the surgical field, and potential to enhance or replace conventional surgical guides and navigation tools.
The management of missing teeth as a result of dental trauma or associated with hypodontia in children and adolescents presents as a clinical challenge for the dental team. One of the options that is regaining popularity is dental autotransplantation. To improve autotransplantation outcomes, careful interdisciplinary planning, surgical simulation using cone beam computed tomography images and three-dimensional-printed teeth replicas should be undertaken for presurgical preparation.
