Objective: To evaluate the clinical application effect of a three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument.
Methods: A three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument was developed. Twelve patients of unilateral fracture of zygoma complex were treated with the help of the three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument.
Results: The therapeutic effects of twelve patients were satisfactory with the three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument. No complication occurred, such as infection, injury of nerves and veins.
Conclusion: Three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument can exactly measure craniomaxillofacial hard tissue, and has adjuvant effect to restore and fix the fracture of unilateral zygoma complex.

Objectives: Toothaches are often poorly localized. Although periodontal pain is better localized, it can spread to other areas. Ultimately, the cerebral cortex processes nociception, with somatotopic organization possibly playing a role in localizing the origin.

Three-dimensional (3D)-printed models have been shown to improve medical students' understanding of anatomy and related fractures. The aim of this parallel-group randomized trial was to evaluate the impact of 3D-printed feline skulls, in addition to traditional teaching, on veterinary students' interpretation of skull radiographs. Students were randomly divided into two groups (2D, 3D) and underwent a pre-test consisting of multiple-choice questions.

Article Synopsis
- Advances in surgical planning and 3D printing are improving craniomaxillofacial surgery by allowing better visualization of patient anatomy, but lengthy print times hinder acute trauma care.
- Researchers optimized 3D printing variables, such as resolution and model orientation, to enhance efficiency while maintaining quality, testing this on mandibular and midface fracture models.
- The optimized printing process reduced print times from over 7 hours to under 1 hour, demonstrating that adjustments in size, resolution, and position can enable quicker and effective surgical planning without compromising model accuracy.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a preferred high-performance polymer in the spine, orthopedic, and craniomaxillofacial implant industry. However, despite its commendable mechanical properties, its bioinert nature limits the implants from integrating with neighboring tissues, impacting the implant's long-term performance. To address this limitation, various kinds of surface functionalization techniques have been developed over the years.

Computed tomography (CT) is the standard of care imaging in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) trauma. Despite the clear advantages of high-resolution multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions, which facilitate accurate diagnosis and provide intraoperative (IO) real-time visual feedback, CT's main drawbacks remain availability, cost, and high radiation exposure. The decision to perform a CT scan is based on the integration of the patient's trauma mechanism, clinical examination, subjective judgment of the CMF surgeon, and the complexity of the surgery if used IO.
