3D printing and virtual planning in maxillofacial lesion management: A retrospective study

Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The integration of three-dimensional (3D) printing and virtual planning in oral and maxillofacial surgery has enhanced precision and individualized patient care is of interest. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate 42 cases of oral and maxillofacial lesions managed with the aid of virtual planning and 3D printed models/guides. Odontogenic cysts were the most common lesions and the mandible was predominantly affected. Use of 3D models reduced operative time, improved resection accuracy and minimized intraoperative complications, with uneventful recovery in most cases. Overall, 3D printing and virtual planning proved to be reliable tools for improving surgical outcomes and clinical efficiency in maxillofacial lesion management.
