Groundbreaking Imaging Technology From HDX WILL Empowers Dental Practitioner to Reconstruct Veteran's Face

Live case presentation of oral-facial prosthetic reconstruction of complete nose and maxilla with HDXWILL imaging technology at the ADA/FDI joint conference. Dr Joseph Massad DDS of Tulsa, Oklahoma presents the case of veteran Army helicopter specialist George Washington Purifoy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23, 2019 — (PRNewswire) — Diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma of his nose, George Purifoy underwent a rhinectomy (excision of the nose) to remove the cancer and began radiation therapy. Radiation treatment initiated bone death (osteonecrosis) of his maxilla. After multiple surgeries by Dr. Brett Shirley, DDS, MD, FACS (oral maxillofacial surgeon) for excision, Mr. Purifoy was left without most of his maxilla and nose. He was then referred to Dr. Massad by the head of the Oklahoma VA hospital for construction of an oral-facial prosthesis. Cooperatively consulting with Dr. Massad, Dr. Shirley placed implants for application of this prosthesis. Using CBCT Digital imaging by HDX WILL and Virtual planning, Dr. Massad was able to create a prosthesis that restored the maxillary dentition and provided Mr. Purifoy with a new prosthetic nose.
