Thyroid-associated orbitopathy is the most common cause of unilateral or bilateral proptosis in adults. A mainstay of surgical treatment is orbital decompression utilizing osteotomies to increase the size of the affected bony orbit to accommodate the larger soft tissue volume. Over the past several decades, numerous approaches have been described for orbital decompression. However, given the intricate osseous and soft tissue anatomy within the orbit, orbital decompression is a potentially hazardous intervention. With advances in three-dimensional imaging and virtual planning, extensive orbital decompressions can be performed safely and efficiently. In this report, we describe two cases of three-wall orbital decompressions using three-dimensional planning.

This report describes the case of a patient who required rehabilitation of their maxillary anterior teeth following a traumatic injury through a physical altercation. The decision was made to extract the maxillary central incisors and maxillary right lateral incisor, perform immediate implantation on the maxillary right lateral incisor and left central incisor areas, and place a three-unit immediate provisional restoration. Predesigned virtual teeth enabled efficient fabrication of the immediate provisional restoration following the implant placement. After a sufficient healing period with periodic check-ups, final impressions were made using a digital approach, with meticulous care taken to preserve the gingival architecture around the sites of rehabilitation. Thus, the custom abutments and definitive restoration were placed without eliciting an uncomfortable feeling in the patient. Both esthetic and functional outcomes were satisfactory. Reduced soft tissue volume around the implant restoration was observed, primarily within the two months post-extraction/implantation, based on superimposition of the serial scan data. Soft tissue volume changes in the present case suggest the need for controlled clinical studies of three-dimensional changes of gingival contours after extraction and/or implantation.

Quantitative measurement of the orbital soft tissue volume plays a very important role in the study of orbital diseases. The purpose of this study is to establish a computed tomography- (CT-) based three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction model and measure the orbital soft tissue volume in Chinese adults. We collected data from 103 Chinese adults (52 males and 51 females) who underwent orbital CT. The CT images of these adults were used to reconstruct a 3D model of the orbital bony cavity, orbital fat, extraocular muscle, and intraorbital optic nerve using Mimics software, and their respective volumes were measured. The mean (±SD) orbital bony cavity volume (OV), orbital fat volume (FV), extraocular muscle volume (MV), and intraorbital optic nerve volume (iONV) of the males were 22.2 ± 2.2 cm3, 8.9 ± 1.8 cm3, 1.9 ± 0.34 cm3, and 0.41 ± 0.08 cm3, respectively. The mean OV, FV, MV, and iONV of the females were 20.2 ± 1.5 cm3, 8.1 ± 1.7 cm3, 1.6 ± 0.3 cm3, and 0.36 ± 0.074 cm3, respectively, which were all significantly lower than those in males (all p<0.05). FV (r = 0.370; p<0.001) and MV (r = 0.283; p=0.007) were significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI), while iONV was not correlated with BMI (r = −0.070; p=0.480). This study shows that FV, MV, and iONV were higher in males than in females. With increasing BMI, FV and MV both increased, but iONV did not exhibit this trend.

The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of soft tissue artifact during three-dimensional motion capture and assess the effectiveness of an optimization method to reduce this effect. Four subjects were captured performing upper-arm internal-external rotation with retro-reflective marker sets attached to their upper extremities. A mechanical arm, with the same marker set attached, replicated the tasks human subjects performed. Artificial sinusoidal noise was then added to the recorded mechanical arm data to simulate soft tissue artifact. All data were processed by an optimization model. The result from both human and mechanical arm kinematic data demonstrates that soft tissue artifact can be reduced by an optimization model, although this error cannot be successfully eliminated. The soft tissue artifact from human subjects and the simulated soft tissue artifact from artificial sinusoidal noise were demonstrated to be considerably different. It was therefore concluded that the kinematic noise caused by skin movement artifact during upper-arm internal-external rotation does not follow a sinusoidal pattern and cannot be effectively eliminated by an optimization model.
