3D reconstructions of Le Fort Fractures. Both patients presented with Le Fort I fracture (black arrows), with horizontal maxillary fracture which passes through the alveolar ridge, lateral nose, and inferior maxillary sinuses wall, separating the teeth from the upper face. Patient a also showed a right Le Fort III fracture (white arrows), also known as craniofacial disjunction, consisting of fractures involving the nasofrontal suture, maxillo-frontal suture, orbital wall, and zygomatic arch/zygomaticofrontal suture. Patient b showed a Le Fort II (empty arrows), with a pyramid shape, with a fracture line involving the nasofrontal junction, the alveolar ridge, and the lateral wall of the right maxillary sinus
