title: [The role of 3D CT in the treatment of maxillofacial malformations].
abstract: The computed tomographic studies obtained routinely in the examination of patients with congenital defects of facial bones can be utilized as a substrate to provide an accurate three-dimensional representation of osseous abnormalities. It is a useful tool for the maxillo-facial surgeon in clinical application, in diagnosis, accurate measurements, preoperative planning and post-operative follow-up. The experience of the Division of Maxillo-Facial Surgery of Bellaria Hospital and of the Radiological Department of Instituto Rizzoli at Bologna is presented.
