Abstract
The authors describe a new method for reproducible, non-invasive fixation of a stereotaxic localizing frame. A localizing system similar to that of Brown-Roberts-Wells for MR can be fixed at the base of the facial skeleton to the upper dental arch by an orthodontic resin plate. Results of trials with CT scan, advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The new fixture could be employed in open surgery and in fractionated radiotherapy.
