ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We present a novel digital workflow to provide presurgical infant orthopedic (PSIO) treatment for a patient with a unilateral cleft lip/palate utilizing nasoalveolar molding (NAM) and a custom postsurgical nasal stent.SETTING:
Within the US military healthcare system, the Joint Base San Antonio Craniofacial Anomalies Team utilizes dental scanners, predictive 3D modeling software, and 3D printing technology in a digital workflow for NAM appliance fabrication. WORKFLOW Soft tissue facial scanning, peri-oral scanning, and dental putty impressions are used to facilitate fabrication and measure outcomes. Digital modeling software and 3D resin printing are utilized to manufacture the prescribed devices. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES ANDRESULTS:
Extra-oral facial scans and intra-oral impressions are compared between 3 timepoints pre-treatment, posttreatment with NAM, and postsurgical treatment.CONCLUSIONS:
The ability to share workflows, establish outcome standards, and streamline patient care will continue to advance best practices in digital PSIO.Palavras-chave
