Alternative applications of guided surgery: precise outlining of the lateral window in antral sinus bone grafting.

30 Oct 2009 Computed tomography (CT) and the application of CT-based guided implant surgery allow clinicians to provide enhanced precision and accuracy in implant surgery. Because of the difficulty in transferring a patient's often complex anatomic sinus ... Read more...

Modified animal model and computer-assisted approach for dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis to reconstruct unilateral maxillectomy defect.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to show the establishment of an animal model with a unilateral maxilla defect, application of virtual reality and rapid prototyping in the surgical planning for dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis (DO). ... Read more...

Deep venous thrombosis: the opportunity at hand.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The use of imaging-guided treatments for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is accelerating. Increased appreciation of the impact of postthrombotic syndrome on DVT patients' quality of life and advances in thrombolytic methods have together ... Read more...
