Osteosynthesis systems are used to fixate bone segments in maxillofacial surgery. Titanium
osteosynthesis systems are currently the gold standard. However, the disadvantages result …

Background and objective The fibula free flap (FFF) has been extensively used to repair
large segmental bone defects in the maxillofacial region. The reconstruction plate plays a …

Virtual surgical planning for CAD/CAM mandibular reconstruction by titanium prosthesis was
recently reported for resected cases. Even if some advantages are evident, difficulties that …

Segmental defects affecting the continuity of the mandible have a profound impact on a
patient's quality of life. Adequate reconstruction of such continuity defects is essential to …

Titanium reconstruction plates are often used to bridge mandibulectomy defects in load
bearing scenarios when bone grafts are not well integrated to the host bone. The residual …

Over the past decade, the demand for three-dimensional (3D) patient-specific (PS)
modelling and simulations has increased considerably; they are now widely available and …

Facial asymmetry is defined as a bilateral difference between facial components. Correction,
often desired by the patient, can be performed with the aim of bone born patient-specific …

Objectives This study aimed to compare the reconstruction with type 2.4 and three-
dimensional (3D) grid plates relating the areas of weakness to anatomical regions of force …

Background Reconstruction of continuity defects following osteonecrosis in multimorbid
patients is challenging. In all cases of the predescribed palliative treatment method for …

Mandibles with odontogenic tumors are often partially reconstructed with a metallic bone
graft analogue with dental roots, crowns, along with a customized plate fixed with …
