Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Mandibular reconstruction presents significant challenges in restoring form and function.
  • Traditional methods often involve complex procedures with variable outcomes.
  • Advancements in digital technology offer new solutions for complex cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and 3D printing in complex mandibular reconstruction.
  • To demonstrate the benefits of these technologies in achieving optimal patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized VSP for tumor resection and osteotomies.
  • Employed 3D printing for surgical guides and stereolith models.
  • Applied patient-specific implants and 3D printed titanium cribs/meshes.

Main Results:

  • VSP and 3D printing enhanced accuracy and anatomical restoration.
  • Improved functional and aesthetic rehabilitation, including dental aspects.
  • Reduced intra-operative time and post-operative complications.
  • Patient-specific implants eliminated the need for separate donor sites.

Conclusions:

  • VSP and 3D printing technologies are highly effective for complex mandibular reconstructions.
  • These modalities offer superior results in form, function, and aesthetics.
  • Promising outcomes for reconstructing complex mandibular defects were observed.
