Nasofacial prostheses supported by osseointegrated implants.

O T Jensen, C Brownd, J Blacker

    The International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants
    |January 1, 1992
    PubMed
    Summary

    Maxillofacial prostheses can restore nasofacial defects after surgery. Osseointegrated implants in facial bone offer stable support for large or muscle-impacted restorations.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Craniofacial Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Surgical ablation in the nasofacial region can result in significant defects.
    • Maxillofacial prosthetic restorations offer a treatment option for these defects.
    • Osseointegrated implants provide a stable foundation for prosthetic rehabilitation.

    Observation:

    • Large or muscle-impacted nasofacial prostheses require robust retention.
    • Placement of implants in available facial skeleton bone is often necessary.
    • Identifying suitable implant sites within the facial skeleton is crucial.

    Findings:

    • A classification system for craniofacial implant sites is proposed.
    • Available sites for osseointegrated implant placement in the facial skeleton are detailed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Two clinical cases of nasofacial defect reconstruction using implants are presented.

    • Implications:

    • This classification aids in planning implant placement for nasofacial defects.
    • Osseointegrated implants enhance the stability and function of maxillofacial prostheses.
    • Improved treatment outcomes for patients with extensive nasofacial defects are achievable.
