| Popis: | Oral and maxillofacial surgery has long needed a methodology for accurate definition of the third dimension. The introduction of computer-aided tomography in the 1970s provided surgeons with multiple 2-D maps which they themselves had to conceptualize into a third dimension. The later advent of computerized summation of these data made it possible to display a perspective view of the third dimension on a TV monitor. CT, and more recently MRI, with the further analytical refinement afforded by software processing (interactive data presentation, contour detection and summation, hypothetical 3-D construction and interactive visualization) now provide the basic information that is needed for the fabrication of an individual model. Such models can be milled from a variety of materials. More recently, laser-hardened acrylic resins have been shown to be a useful alternative. Both systems are described and their advantages and disadvantages in the planning and performance of oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures are discussed. |
