Development and application of a three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument / 华西口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the clinical application effect of a three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>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.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>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.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>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.</p>
