Computer-assisted planning congenital differences and anomalies: Pierre robin sequence

Introduction Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) remains a mainstay of surgical treatment for Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS). Three-dimensional (3D) printing and computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has revolutionized our ability to visualize, plan, and execute surgical treatment within craniofacial surgery. In…

Computer-assisted surgical planning congenital differences and anomalies: Treacher Collins syndrome

Introduction Although classically described as “mandibulofacial dysostosis,” contemporary understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) skeletal dysmorphology in patients with Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) extends to include midface hypoplasia involving the zygoma and maxilla. The hallmark of severe deficiency is orbitozygomatic hypoplasia…

Computer-assisted surgical planning congenital differences & anomalies: Syndromic craniosynostosis – (subcranial) Le Fort III and Le Fort III/I

Introduction Various conditions, congenital and acquired, can limit midface growth resulting in midface hypoplasia. Midface hypoplasia may be a result of developmental maxillary dysplasia, skeletal and dental class III malocclusion, and hard palate narrowing. This can lead to airway obstruction,…

Computer-assisted surgical planning in head and neck reconstruction: Temporomandibular joint replacement

Introduction Total temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory arthritis not responsive to other modalities of treatment, recurrent fibrous and/or bony ankylosis, failed tissue grafts, failed alloplastic temporomandibular joint (TMJ) reconstruction, or loss of vertical mandibular…
