New concept and technologies in mandibular reconstruction: A case report

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: previously programmed with 3D surgical planning, construction of cutting and reconstructive guides, laser prebended reconstructive plate. There were no drawbacks during the surgical steps. High precision of cutting guides and a good fit of the pre-bended plate both on the mandible and on the fibula were found intra-operatively. Extreme precision in bone-to-bone contact and position between mandible and fibula graft was also noticed. Conclusion We posit that using computerassisted mandibular reconstruction and virtual surgical planning for mandible reconstruction after ablative surgery will significantly improve the functional results, allowing for accurate recovery of function and facial contour and decreasing surgical time.
