Computer-aided surgical simulation has greatly enhanced the efficiency and accuracy of
orthognathic surgery for correction of dentofacial deformities. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) …

As the application of bone scaffolds becomes more and more widespread, the requirements
for the high performance of bone scaffolds are also increasing. The stiffness and porosity of …

A plastic surgery in the head and neck region requires a good understanding of the
associated components and careful examination of the biomechanical innerworkings. The …

The aim of this study was used a weighted topology optimization method to design a patient-
specific mandibular implant for reconstruction and restoration of appearance in patients with …

The aim of this paper is to propose a biomechanical model that could serve as a tool to
overcome some difficulties encountered in experimental studies of the mandible. One of …

Patient-specific mandibular reconstruction plate (PSMRP), as one of the patient-specific
implants (PSIs), offers a host of benefits to mandibular reconstruction. Due to the limitation of …

Reconstruction of segmental defects in the mandible remains a challenge for maxillofacial
surgery. The use of porous scaffolds is a potential method for repairing these defects. Now …

A porous scaffold/implant is considered a potential method to repair bone defects, but its
mechanical stability and biomechanics during the repair process are not yet clear. A …

Fatigue fracture of titanium alloys fabricated by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) in engineering
has been studied in recent years, but an underlying understanding of the in-vivo fatigue …

2. Objectives The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the quality and volume
of available evidence relating to the benefits and limitations of 'three-dimensionally …
