CAD-CAM construction of a provisional Nasal prosthesis after ablative tumour surgery of the nose: a pilot case report. Updates.

none4Abstract The computer-aided design of a nasal prosthesis based on preoperative virtual laser scanning of the affected site was virtually adapted to the postoperative laser scanned surface. The designed volume of the nose was rapidly prototyped and used to fabricate a provisional prosthesis and a computed tomography (CT) diagnostic template to check the available premaxilla bone for implants. The mold for the nasal prosthesis was prototyped using a computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) procedure. In addition, the mesiostructure of an eyeglasses-supported provisional prosthesis was also designed and prototyped using CAD-CAM procedures.openCiocca L.; Fantini M.; De Crescenzio F.; Scotti R.Ciocca L.; Fantini M.; De Crescenzio F.; Scotti R
