Summary
Virtual surgical planning (VSP) offers a low-cost, precise method for treating severe atrophic mandibular fractures. This technique ensures accurate reduction and stable outcomes, improving patient rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
- Medical Technology
Background:
- Severe atrophic mandibular fractures present challenges in achieving accurate reduction due to poor bone volume and lack of stable occlusion.
- Inaccurate fracture reduction can lead to malunion, facial asymmetry, and other complications.
- Existing virtual surgical planning (VSP) protocols for mandible fractures are not widely documented.
