Abstract

After almost two years of positive clinical feedback, in November 2013, the innovative bone substitute SmartBone® made it possible to successfully engage in a great maxillo facial surgical challenge. Thanks to a profitable collaboration between the Swiss biomedical company Industrie Biomediche Insubri SA and the renowned University of Modena a complex large sphenoid orbital reconstruction case was accomplished using a revolutionary approach. The outstanding biomechanical and microstructural properties of SmartBone®, that in these last two years obtained great results in the dental field and in reconstructive surgery, have allowed the surgeons of the University of Modena to treat the case with excellency and promising results.
