Mucormycosis, the deadly fungal infection and one of the most serious side effects of the covid-19 disease, took many lives and left many with deformed facial structures. Mucormycosis, once classified as a rare fungal disease, caused by a group of microorganisms, is now being regrouped under emerging pathogens. 3D Incredible, headquartered in Pune, aims to provide innovative solutions for pre and post mucormycosis resection thereby assisting both surgeons and patients. Here, let’s find out solutions offered by 3D Incredible for mucormycosis.
Solutions offered by 3D Incredible for pre and post mucormycosis resection
The Black fungus that infects the mid-face region deforms its structures. 3D Incredible, is equipped to provide complete mucormycosis resection solution through various customised patient-specific 3D printed implants. Here are the solutions offered by 3D Incredible.
1. Zygoma Reconstruction:
Zygomatic, a pair of irregular bones that form the anterior and lateral portions of the face, is a complex structure that protects the orbital area along with the contour of the face and cheeks. The infection damages the structure that gets restored using the advanced techniques of 3D implants offered by 3D Incredible.
2. Maxilla Reconstruction:
Maxillary bones act as a separation between oral and orbital cavities and also give skeletal support to the orbital contents. In addition, these provide aesthetic appeal to the face.
3D Incredible’s Confidence Mid Face provides a wide range of products that facilitates the reconstruction of the complex maxillary structure.
3. Mandible Reconstruction:
Mandible, the largest bone in the human skull forming the lower jawline when gets infected by the fatal fungus, is reconstructed using sophisticated means.
3D Incredible offers mandibular reconstruction that strengthens the jawline and creates a more balanced facial silhouette.
4. Orbital Floor Reconstruction:
The maxillary bone, the palatine bone, and the orbital plate of the zygomatic bone together make the orbital floor. When black fungus infects the region, it gets damaged. With the help of orbital floor reconstruction, the normal anatomical relations of the internal orbit get corrected while avoiding complications of the procedure and implants.
At Confidence, orbital floor implants are designed to restore the functioning of orbit to normal and maintain the volume of orbit rightly.
5. Orthognathic Surgery:
Orthognathic Surgery improves facial appearance by correcting the irregularities of the jawbones caused due to mucormycosis. It further helps to realign the jaws and teeth to enhance their functionality.
3D Incredible is very helpful in correcting orthognathic cases through the virtual and simulation-based surgical planning, designing customised cutting jigs, splints and fixation plates required for the perfect and excellent result.
6. Fibula Graft Surgery:
Fibula graft surgery is an advanced microsurgical procedure. During the surgery, a section of fibular bone which is attached to veins and arteries, is used to replace dead bones.
At 3D Incredible, we provide an end-to-end surgical solution for fibula graft cases. Our talented workforce creates 3d printed fibula cutting guide, fibula contour, locking hole plates and mandible resection guide.
7. Sub-Periosteal implants:
Sub-Periosteal implants benefit people suffering from bone loss in their jaw region. These implants made of a metal framework are placed onto the bone instead of into the bone. In cases where the bone of the maxilla and mandible is limited, these prove viable options.
Confidence offers customised sub periosteal implants to fit the contours of a particular person’s bone. At Incredible, we use materials that are made from titanium-based metals, which possess high strength and high corrosion resistance to ensure good biocompatibility.
