Summary
This study shows customized 3D-printed titanium mesh is effective for jawbone regeneration, achieving significant linear and volumetric bone gains. Mesh exposure was the most common complication, impacting graft success in some cases.
Area of Science:
- Dental implantology
- Regenerative medicine
- Biomaterials engineering
Background:
- Alveolar bone defects pose challenges for dental implant placement.
- Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a common treatment modality.
- Customized 3D-printed titanium mesh offers a novel approach to GBR.
