Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical application effect of a three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument.
METHODSA three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument was developed. Twelve patients of unilateral fracture of zygoma complex were treated with the help of the three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument.
RESULTSThe therapeutic effects of twelve patients were satisfactory with the three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument. No complication occurred, such as infection, injury of nerves and veins.
CONCLUSIONThree-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument can exactly measure craniomaxillofacial hard tissue, and has adjuvant effect to restore and fix the fracture of unilateral zygoma complex.
