Webinar: Technology from a Clinician Perspective

The Australian Research Council Training Centre for Medical Implant Technologies (ARC CMIT) provides training for PhD students and early career researchers to engage with industry and clinical partners.The Centre specialises in personalised 3D printed implants. The ARC CMIT brings together world-leading biomedical engineers, scientists, and clinicians and connects these experts with medical implant global supply chain providers from Australia, China, Belgium, U.K. and the U.S.A. The goal of the ARC CMIT is to support research translation which leads to the development of best industry and clinical practice, new products, processes and solutions.The ARC CMIT is funded by theARC Industrial Transformation Research Program.

ARC CMIT would like to invite you to a webinar on technology from a clinician perspective, entitled "The use of patient specific prostheses"

<h3><strong>"The use of patient specific prostheses in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery"</strong></h3><h3>The use of Patient Specific Prostheses in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS), along with Virtual Planning have become the standard of care in all fields of OMS, including Oncology, Orthognathic surgery and TMJ Reconstructive Surgery. Implementation in facial trauma surgery, is the next challenge with in-house manufacturing to be implemented in the future.</h3><h3>Maxillofacial Oncological Surgery creates great challenges for patients, it is potentially mutilating and morbid, with the resection of both tumour tissues and normal tissues to create an adequate surgical margin to enable cure. Free tissue transfer is the standard for reconstruction, the bone flaps must be sculptured and fitted along with their soft tissue pedicles and adequate soft tissue to replace and repair the surgical defects. Modern radiology including Computed Tomography integrated with Angiography shows the tissues and their blood supply, enabling the design of more complex reconstructions. The reconstructions must be 3 dimensionally formed and fixed in situ to the residual bone stock. This is the role for patient specific implants, reconstruction plates that are virtually designed by surgeons and engineers working together. A new innovation is combining this planning with the use of conventional dental implants to reconstruct the dentition.</h3><h3>Congenital, acquired facial deformities and temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) pathology cause significant functional and self-esteem issues for patients. Congenital facial deformities such as clefts can be managed with corrective jaw surgery (Orthognathic surgery). TMJ reconstruction has been greatly advanced in the last decade with total joint replacement / reconstruction with prosthetic replacement. Both orthognathic surgery and TMJ reconstruction are now being done with virtual surgical planning and patient specific implants. This has led to significant improvements in outcomes and reduction in morbidity. This part of the presentation will highlight the advantages and pathway of planning and delivery of the prosthesis using recent Melbourne cases.</h3><h3></h3>
