Abstract

The removal of foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region is often a tedious and time consuming process. The image intensifier, which is a standard piece of hospital equipment, facilitates and expedites this surgical procedure and minimises disfigurement. In addition the image intensifier can be useful in the surgical treatment of maxillofacial trauma. Some applications of such use are illustrated with clinical examples. The use of the image intensifier is presented highlighting the advantages to both patient and clinician in the reduction of radiation exposure, cost effectiveness and saving of time in maxillofacial surgical work.
