Efficacy of Hilotherapy face mask in improving the trend of edema after orthognathic surgery: a 3D analysis of the face using a facial scan app for iPhone
ConclusionsIn
conclusion, Hilotherapy represents a more comfortable and more effective
cryotherapy system in controlling the trend of facial edema after orthognathic
surgery. The method we used for the facial scans is accurate, cheap, smart, and
fast. As demonstrated by the 3D volumetric study of the face, the regions of
the middle third of the face are those in which the difference is most
noticeable. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)

Be careful where you aim: craniomaxillofacial trauma from the utility of metal hammers
ConclusionsCraniomaxillofacial injuries secondary to hammers illustrated a predilection to the head. Hammer falling from a height was most likely to injure the head. Debris from hammer strikes was the most dangerous mechanism of injury and was most likely to injure the eyeball. Hence, the authors urge the use of protective gear for the head (i.e., helmet) and eyeball (i.e., glasses) when handling hammers for constructive purposes. (Source: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery)
