  • Title: [Orbito-maxillo-facial rehabilitation with osteointegrated prostheses].
    Author: Belus JF, Kaplanski P, Blanc JL, Bernet M, Triglia JM, Zanaret M.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1996; 113(7-8):397-407. PubMed ID: 9207973.
    Abstract:
    This investigation was conducted to evaluate 20 cases of implant-retained prosthetic rehabilitation (mean follow-up of 35 months). Ear, nose, orbit and complex defects of the face have been restored. Our main indication was reconstruction in cancer patients after tumor surgery (n = 14). Rehabilitation was also performed in traumatic disorders (n = 3) and congenital aural malformations (n = 3). Fifty seven titanium fixtures have been implanted with an integration success rate of 98%. We also report 6 cases of maxillary or mandibulary functional rehabilitation. The use of osteointegrated implants to provide support for maxillo-facial prosthesis is a new and valuable technique when reconstructive plastic surgery is not envisageable.
