This study introduces the Jugaad technique, a cost-effective method for planning maxillofacial reconstructions. This denture-based inverse planning approach aids in achieving functional outcomes for complex surgeries.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Implantology
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Maxillofacial reconstructions are complex procedures requiring precise surgical planning.
- Current techniques may be costly or lack efficiency in achieving functional outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel, cost-effective technique for planning functional maxillofacial reconstructions.
- To detail a denture-based inverse planning method utilizing mock surgery.
Main Methods:
- Preoperative dental casts were used for mock surgery.
- A fibula analogue was positioned, and a denture fabricated on it served as a surgical guide.
- Drill holes in the denture guided implant placement and fibula transplant positioning.
Main Results:
- The technique proved effective in achieving functional and rehabilitative outcomes.
- Successful application in both maxillary and mandibular reconstructive surgeries was demonstrated.
Conclusions:
- The Jugaad technique, a denture-based inverse planning method, is a cost-effective approach.
- This technique facilitates precise planning and execution of maxillofacial reconstructions.

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
