Submental endotracheal intubation for surgery was used as an alternative to nasotracheal intubation in patients with craniomaxillofacial injury. Generally extubation was performed in the operation room by pulling the tube through the submental incision site. When extubation is not indicated, intraoral indwelling is preferred to submental intubation. We report a case of a 35-year-old male patient with multiple facial bone fractures. At the end of the surgery, we noticed the oropharyngeal edema, and so the submental intubation was converted into a standard orotracheal intubation. During that procedure, the pilot balloon was accidentally detached from the endotracheal tube. The situation was managed by cutting a pilot tube from a new, unused endotracheal tube and connecting it to the intubated tube using a needle connector.

To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a three-dimensional augmented reality system incorporating integral videography for imaging oral and maxillofacial regions, based on preoperative computed tomography data. Three-dimensional surface models of the jawbones, based on the computed tomography data, were used to create the integral videography images of a subject's maxillofacial area. The three-dimensional augmented reality system (integral videography display, computed tomography, a position tracker and a computer) was used to generate a three-dimensional overlay that was projected on the surgical site via a half-silvered mirror. Thereafter, a feasibility study was performed on a volunteer. The accuracy of this system was verified on a solid model while simulating bone resection. Positional registration was attained by identifying and tracking the patient/surgical instrument's position. Thus, integral videography images of jawbones, teeth and the surgical tool were superimposed in the correct position. Stereoscopic images viewed from various angles were accurately displayed. Change in the viewing angle did not negatively affect the surgeon's ability to simultaneously observe the three-dimensional images and the patient, without special glasses. The difference in three-dimensional position of each measuring point on the solid model and augmented reality navigation was almost negligible (<1 mm); this indicates that the system was highly accurate. This augmented reality system was highly accurate and effective for surgical navigation and for overlaying a three-dimensional computed tomography image on a patient's surgical area, enabling the surgeon to understand the positional relationship between the preoperative image and the actual surgical site, with the naked eye.

The present paper was conducted to a systematic method of surgical guide for dental implant based on computer-aided technology through CT data and dental-cast data. By analyzing the patient's CT data, the implant region was planned using image processing techniques. For the specified implant region, the computer-aided method for the rational allocation of dental implant was addressed in a sense of anatomy. With biomechanical principles as well as aesthetical and functional requirements as preconditions, this method can make full use of bone quantity and quality to produce the optimum implantation axis. The transferring of implant planning to the patient was then realized by registration between CT models and dental-cast models. A case research explained the whole process of the surgical guide. The results validated the correctness and feasibility of this method, which has a great significance to enhance the quality and accuracy of implant surgery.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of the viability and new bone formation of osteoblasts by the super high molecular weight poly D,L-lactic acid (SHMW-PDLLA).
METHODS1. The osteoblasts derived from neonatal rat were grown and maintained at steep of SHMW-PDLLA and normal culture medium. The viability and function of the osteoblasts were measured with MTT array. 2. The plate and screws made of SHMW-PDLLA were implanted and fixed at the artificial fractured mandible of dogs. Specimens were gained at 3 and 6 months and examined with macroscopy and SEM.
RESULTS1. There is no significant difference of OD values between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). The SHMW-PDLLA isn't toxic to osteoblast at 1 week and 2 weeks, and the toxicity is 3% at 3 days. 2. There were a lot of new bone formed between the implanted SHMW-PDLLA plate and bone tissues under SEM.
CONCLUSIONSHMW-PDLLA hasn't pathological influence on the viability and new bone formation of osteoblasts and it is feasible in tissue engineering of bone.

In maxillofacial surgery, there is a significant need for the design and fabrication of porous scaffolds with customizable bionic structures and mechanical properties suitable for bone tissue engineering. In this paper, we characterize the porous Ti6Al4V implant, which is one of the most promising and attractive biomedical applications due to the similarity of its modulus to human bones. We describe the mechanical properties of this implant, which we suggest is capable of providing important biological functions for bone tissue regeneration. We characterize a novel bionic design and fabrication process for porous implants. A design concept of "reducing dimensions and designing layer by layer" was used to construct layered slice and rod-connected mesh structure (LSRCMS) implants. Porous LSRCMS implants with different parameters and porosities were fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). Printed samples were evaluated by microstructure characterization, specific mechanical properties were analyzed by mechanical tests, and finite element analysis was used to digitally calculate the stress characteristics of the LSRCMS under loading forces. Our results show that the samples fabricated by SLM had good structure printing quality with reasonable pore sizes. The porosity, pore size, and strut thickness of manufactured samples ranged from (60.95± 0.27)% to (81.23±0.32)%, (480±28) to (685±31) μm, and (263±28) to (265±28) μm, respectively. The compression results show that the Young's modulus and the yield strength ranged from (2.23±0.03) to (6.36±0.06) GPa and (21.36±0.42) to (122.85±3.85) MPa, respectively. We also show that the Young's modulus and yield strength of the LSRCMS samples can be predicted by the Gibson-Ashby model. Further, we prove the structural stability of our novel design by finite element analysis. Our results illustrate that our novel SLM-fabricated porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds based on an LSRCMS are a promising material for bone implants, and are potentially applicable to the field of bone defect repair.
