title: The face scan as a means for the visualization of complex prosthetic reconstructions.
abstract: The face scan can serve as a means for the visualization of planes relevant for extensive prosthetic reconstructions. The key prerequisite is the availability of data in stl format for further processing in different software programs. The method is described in this article by a patient case.
