Abstract The complex and three-dimensional geometric anatomical features of the orbito-zygomatic bony structure makes the accurate reduction and fixation of the OZMC fractures a big challenge to maxillofacial surgeons. The lack of information about a simple, costless, and effective objective tool for the accurate reduction and fixation of OZMC fractures was the motivating goal for making this study This study aimed to evaluate the role of using a prebent titanium mesh on a 3D-printed model as an intraoperative guide to accurately reconstruct orbito-zygomatic-maxillary complex (OZMC) fractures and to quantify clinical and radiographical outcomes and assess the state of the patients 6 months after surgery. For this purpose, this study was carried out on twelve patients with unilateral displaced orbito-zygomatico-maxillary complex (OZMC) fracture indicated for orbital floor reconstruction as evidenced by clinical and radiographic examination who were collected from department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Tanta University. Open reduction and internal fixation were utilized to treat those fractures using titanium miniplates and orbital floor reconstruction was done using prebent titanium orbital mesh. |
