Summary

Basal (disk) implants effectively anchored a nasal epithesis for facial reconstruction after midface squamous cell carcinoma ablation. This technique offers a stable, low-complication solution, especially for elderly patients with limited bone.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Squamous cell carcinoma of the midface often necessitates extensive ablative surgery.
  • Reconstruction of facial defects, particularly nasal defects, presents significant challenges.
  • Nasal epithesis offers a reconstructive option, but stable and reliable anchorage is crucial.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing facial reconstruction using a nasal epithesis anchored on basal (disk) implants.
  • Three basal implants were surgically placed in the glabellar, alveolar, and maxillary regions.
  • Successful osseointegration of implants was achieved over a 3-month period.
  • The nasal epithesis was delivered and anchored to fabricated bars for retention and stability.
  • Long-term follow-up (18 months) showed no tumor recurrence or implant-related complications.

Transcanalicular Diode Laser-assisted Dacryocystorhinostomy for the Treatment of Primary Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

Published on: October 13, 2017

Findings:

  • Basal (disk) implants provide excellent osseointegration and stability for nasal epithesis.
  • The implant system demonstrated a low complication rate in an elderly oncologic patient.
  • This method is particularly advantageous in cases with limited available bone for reconstruction.

Implications:

  • Basal implants represent a viable and effective alternative for nasal reconstruction in oncologic patients.
  • The technique minimizes complications, enhancing quality of life for elderly patients.
  • Further research into basal implant applications for complex facial defects is warranted.
