Details and patient eligibility

About

This study will use a 3D scanner to print a 3D model or mold for each patient's prosthesis. The goal of this study to provide patients with a new, faster method of imaging and creating prostheses that preserves the quality of the current method while reducing time spent by both the patient and providers. Patients that are eligible will have a non-invasive 3D scanner (Artec Space Spider) to image the indicated areas of their head and face to help create their new prosthesis. Patients will come in for visits as needed to fit and adjust their prosthetic. Additionally, patients will be asked to complete questionnaires and have follow-up visits at certain time -points pre and post prosthetic completion.

Inclusion criteria

Maxillofacial anatomic defect or anomaly that limits function or cosmesis (including facial and/or intraoral)
Stable defect (no clinically active tumor or plans for major reconstructive surgery)
The patient (or family) have elected to pursue a prosthetic reconstruction of a craniofacial anomaly
The patient is amenable to 3D surface scanning rather than facial molding
