OBJECTIVES: Intraoperative cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) imaging has been introduced in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Using midfacial fractures as the pioneer model, this study describes the spectrum of further promising clinical indications for intraoperative CBCT and a clinical combination with intraoperative navigation. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred seventy-nine patients admitted for surgical treatment of the facial skeleton were included in the study. Intraoperatively, 3-dimensional images were generated with the mobile CBCT scanner Arcadis Orbic 3D, obtained from Siemens Medical Solutions, in a variety of indications. RESULTS: The acquisition of the data sets was uncomplicated, and image quality was sufficient to assess the postoperative result in all cases. In the example of a facial gunshot injury, a navigation system for intraoperative localization of the metal foreign bodies was used.
