title: [Development and application of a three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the clinical application effect of a three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument.
  
  
  METHODS
  A three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument was developed. Twelve patients of unilateral fracture of zygoma complex were treated with the help of the three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The therapeutic effects of twelve patients were satisfactory with the three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument. No complication occurred, such as infection, injury of nerves and veins.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Three-dimensional craniomaxillofacial measurement instrument can exactly measure craniomaxillofacial hard tissue, and has adjuvant effect to restore and fix the fracture of unilateral zygoma complex.
