Chapter 141 138. New materials and new methods(2/2)

Charles looked at Waterman with very surprised eyes and found a large piece of ivory from the equipment box:

"Since I listened to Dr. Kavi's advice last time, I asked my friend to buy an excellent piece of ivory imported from India. Just use a saw and file to make a maxillary model based on this bone, and insert your dental tray underneath.

You can put it completely into the patient's mouth and recreate his maxillary bone."

"Just to make a maxilla for a sailor? It's ivory, you asked me to come to Vienna, and you also used the best dental tray material in Europe." Charles sighed at Waterman's family fortune, "You are too willing to spend a lot of money.

.”

"As far as I know, no one has done this before?" Waterman smiled, not taking the money seriously at all. "As long as I make it and publish it, it will be the world's first!"

"As expected of the president of the Vienna College of Surgery," Charles also agreed with this approach, but the problem remained the same as before, "After the bones are made and the dental tray material is fitted, what should I do with the joints on both sides?"

"Connection part."

"If it's rubber, it can be thermally bonded on both sides. It may not be strong, but at least it looks good on the surface."

"Now the bones."

"Are you asking me to put rubber between bones?"

Waterman smiled bitterly: "Judging from your expression, this seems unrealistic."

"It's not that I can't try, but once it falls off, it's more practical to make a palatal guard."

It's a simple multiple choice question, if making an ivory maxilla involves the same risk as using pure rubber, then why not use a relatively cheap rubber palatal guard?

"It would be nice if the muscles and soft tissues could grow back and attach to the bones."

Innovation in surgery needs to face one problem after another. Once the brainstorming stops, doctors will be trapped in a whirlpool and it will be difficult to get out. In fact, it is not that they are not strong enough, but that they need the guidance of some people or things.

Just when Charles and Waterman looked helpless and the audience was actively discussing the reconstruction materials used in the second-stage surgery, a voice suddenly sounded on the stage, attracting everyone's attention: "Since the muscles cannot be attached, then we can

Help them attach."

"Kavi?" Waterman didn't know whether to be excited or sigh. In short, this guy must have had a new idea, so he quickly asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"The ivory itself is hard enough, and you can choose to use metal plates and small rivets for external fixation."
