A life-size nylon model of a traumatized mandible was created using laser sintering for surgical planning. This facilitated the restoration of a large bony defect with bone grafting and titanium implants.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Traumatic injuries can cause significant mandibular bone defects, necessitating complex reconstructive strategies.
  • Accurate pre-operative planning is crucial for successful surgical outcomes in complex maxillofacial reconstructions.

Observation:

  • A life-size, patient-specific nylon model of a traumatized mandible was fabricated using computed tomography (CT) scan data and laser sintering.
  • This model served as a template for designing and producing custom surgical guides.

Findings:

  • The laser-sintered model enabled precise pre-operative planning for the reconstruction of a large mandibular bony defect.
  • Surgical aids produced from the model facilitated the precise placement of titanium implants and subsequent grafting with vascularized iliac crest bone.

Implications:

  • Patient-specific models generated by laser sintering can significantly improve surgical planning and execution in complex mandibular reconstructions.
  • This approach holds promise for enhancing functional and aesthetic outcomes in patients with severe facial trauma.
