Summary

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.

Conditions

• Prosthetic Treatment
• Craniofacial Abnormalities
• Maxillofacial Abnormalities

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	3D digital scanning for maxillofacial prosthetics	The non-invasive Artec Space Spider 3D scanner will be used to image the indicated areas of the patients head and face. In the case of an intraoral defect, the noninvasive TRIOS intraoral 3D scanner will be used. The study may also use nasometry or nasal endoscopy to measure the amount of airflow through the patient's fistula to help guide the design. The software that will be used will create a 3D image of the prosthesis during the patient's clinic appointment. Once a model of the prosthesis is fully designed and manufactured, the patient will return to clinic for a second appointment which may involve fitting and coloring. A subsequent appointment will involve delivery of a successfully fitted and colored prosthesis that the patient will take home.
