Anaplastology provides prosthetic substitutes for lost anatomy; osseointegration makes it possible to stabilize prostheses in a reliable and predictable manner. Emphasizing the interdisciplinary, the book is composed of two parts. In Part I, patient presentations of auricular, nasal, orbital, and complex defects illustrate the art of prosthetic reconstruction. In Part II, various specialists share their experience and advice on how to optimize treatment planning and results using osseointegration to anchor prostheses.

Fundamentals of Facial Prosthetics is a timely and complete guide to the field of facial reconstruction. It provides essential "how-to" information on facial prosthetic rehabilitation for professionals in the medical, dental, and ancillary health care fields involved in prescribing, fabricating, or placing a facial prosthesis for patients who have lost a portion of their face through surgical removal secondary to cancer, birth defects, or trauma.

Restoration of Facial Defects with Digital Technology gives global descriptions of each method so that readers can project, design, and manufacture a maxillofacial prosthesis and customize maxillofacial surgery. It also covers using CAD-CAM technology to reduce the cost and time of making a facial prosthesis. The complete workflow for producing the ear, nasal, and oculofacial prosthesis (implant and mechanically supported), and for oncologic maxillofacial surgery is described. The atlas form of the book describes each procedure in a step-by-step manner so that readers may reproduce the process and obtain improved results with respect to the analogic procedures. This book communicates the most updated knowledge and the method of digital technology applied to the maxillofacial rehabilitation workflow, in a way that all may use it as a guide for replicating the methodologies presented in the book. This book will help also informatics technicians and biomedical engineers to project and customize the virtual construction of the prosthesis. It also describes how to use the new technology to reduce time and cost of the operatory room. The information in this book will also let readers: know the new methodologies to use digital technology instead of analogic procedures by anaplastologists; accomplish unusual hygiene procedures of craniofacial implants (hygienists); propose prosthetic alternative solution instead of the plastic surgery to the patient who lost ear, nose, or facial parts for oncologic or traumatic reasons; simplify the plastic reconstructive surgery and module as a function of the final prosthetic rehabilitation supported by craniofacial implants. The book has been written by experts in the field, pulling together information from disparate sources into one reference, making it ideal for anyone working in maxillofacial rehabilitation of the face. Includes coverage of case studies of facial disfiguring due to cancer or trauma using both surgical and prosthetic approaches Describes the step-by-step protocol to digitally design ear, oculofacial, and nasal prostheses, and to mold manufacturing using modern 3D printing technology Provides evidence-based state-of-the-art protocol on maxillofacial and craniofacial implant surgery related to the facial rehabilitation

Over the past decade, tremendous innovations in technology, clinical applications, and implant design have transformed the field of facial implant surgery, leading to improved outcomes and greater patient satisfaction. The highly anticipated 2nd Edition of Atlas of Facial Implants, led by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Michael J. Yaremchuk, brings you fully up to date with these changes, offering authoritative coverage of both aesthetic and reconstructive applications of alloplastic implants for recontouring the craniofacial skeleton. Provides step-by-step descriptions of each procedure enhanced by hundreds of color illustrations and color photographs depicting preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative views. Reviews indications for implant use, patient evaluation, and surgical planning, as well as pearls and pitfalls throughout. Discusses Computer-Aided Design (CAD)/Computed-Aided Manufacture (CAM) for both cranial reconstruction (cranioplasty) as well as aesthetic applications. Features new coverage of facial implants as an important adjunct in rejuvenative aesthetic surgery, as well as their role in refining orthognathic surgical procedures, surgical treatment of Graves’ disease, and facial skeletal augmentation. Provides access to procedural videos depicting post orthognathic irregularities and imbalances, functional cranioplasty, and more.

Material-Tissue Interfacial Phenomena: Contributions from Dental and Craniofacial Reconstructions explores the material/tissue interfacial phenomena using dental and craniofacial reconstructions as a model system. As the mouth is a particularly caustic environment, the synthetic and/or bio-enabled materials used to repair damaged tissues and restore form, function, and esthetics to oral structures must resist a variety of physical, chemical, and mechanical challenges. These challenges are magnified at the interface between dissimilar structures such as the tooth/material interface. Interfacial reactions at the atomic, molecular, and nano-scales initiate the failure of materials used to repair, restore, and reconstruct dental and craniofacial tissues. Understanding the phenomena that lead to failure at the interface between dissimilar structures, such as synthetic materials and biologic tissues, is confounded by a variety of factors that are thoroughly discussed in this comprehensive book. Provides a specific focus on the oral environment Combines clinical views and basic science into a useful reference book Presents comprehensive coverage of material-interfacial phenomena within the oral environment
