“…Since the advent of cross-sectional imaging in the 1970s 17 and three-dimensional printing in the 1980s, 18 advanced computer technologies have produced virtual and physical tools for accurate three-dimensional object rendering and manipulation. The concept of patient-specific custom implants for craniofacial reconstruction 19 actually predates three-dimensional printing by over a decade. 20 Some of the earliest experience with computer-aided design and manufacturing technology occurred in the military setting in the care of wounded soldiers.…”

dvanced three-dimensional computer technologies have transformed many health care industries. Perhaps none has changed more than craniofacial surgery, a field defined by the precise positioning of complex, rigid geometric shapes in three-dimensional space.Virtual surgical planning, or computer-aided surgical simulation, refers to surgical simulation on a computer software platform. [See Figure, Supplemental Digital Content 1, which displays advanced three-dimensional technology categories, http://links.lww.com/PRS/E508. See Video 1 (online), which describes the fundamental principles underlying three-dimensional computer technologies and their application in craniofacial surgery.]

Silicon has the ability to form polymeric chains, commonly linear chains of dimethylsiloxane, although other organic groups can be substituted for methyl. In addition, the properties of the resultant silicone polymers can vary with composition and curing procedure. This leads to a wide range of materials known as the silicones. This group of polymers, which have excellent biocompatibility, have been utilised to develop and manufacture a wide range of biomedical products. These range from simple tubing to complex implants, for example those used to replace diseased finger joints. The versatility of these materials has led to silicone products being employed in almost every medical speciality.
