Using in-house 3D technology for optimal spatial positioning of elongation devices for distraction osteogenesis—a cost-effective alternative

Frontiers in Oral Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 6

Published: Feb. 13, 2025

Introduction Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is globally accepted as the gold-standard surgical solution for various craniofacial deformities and syndromes. Stock device evolution has advanced into complex designs to achieve most accurate three-dimensional vector of elongation. Today's cutting-edge patient-specific distractors designed by virtual planning (VSP) facilitate performance ensure predictable clinical results. However, tailoring comes with a significant price tag. Methods Using VSP technology, we developed an inexpensive stepwise method precisely directing adapting off-the-shelf individual contour patients’ mandibles based on in-house printed cutting guides. Results The sequence application are described in detail. final results assessed 3D analysis confirm method's precision predictability. Discussion positions adapted were found match pre-operative precisely, resulting excellent This can be easily reproduced similar cases reduced cost.

Orbital Defect Reconstruction using Customized Implants: Current Techniques and Long-Term Outcomes in Maxillofacial Surgery.

International Journal of Medical Science and Dental Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(04), P. 74 - 85

Published: April 11, 2024

This systematic review investigates the current methods and long-term results of maxillofacial surgery orbital defect restoration with personalized implants. PRISMA standards were followed in order to identify analyze pertinent studies that focused on patient-specific implants (PSI) for abnormalities. was accomplished by a thorough search multiple databases. The findings demonstrate how well PSI works improve both functional cosmetic outcomes, such as correction facial asymmetries, enophthalmos, diplopia. Surgical navigation 3D printing are examples cutting-edge technology have improved reconstruction's precision versatility. While some research points trend toward better when using opposed more conventional methods, additional data is required properly assess its effectiveness. analysis highlights role customized play attaining best possible outcomes urges surgical patient over long time frames.

Three-dimensional secondary reconstruction of mistreated zygomatic fractures using patient specific surgical guides and implants

Frontiers in Oral Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 5

Published: Sept. 19, 2024

Introduction The zygomatic bone has a great impact on the anterior and lateral projection of midface as well proper position globe. Primary alignment fractures is very important secondary reconstruction far more challenging. Treatment misaligned zygoma requires refracturing to allow for repositioning. Due midface, precise 3D realignment importance. Technology nowadays develops rapidly allows superior results in many surgical fields. use patient specific guides fixation plates becoming abundant. Methods Using segmentation design software, we developed sequence using planning printing both stage, avoiding coronal approach, repositioning new position. Results method described unique advanced analysis, allowing objectively assessing results. Two cases are presented, including post operative changes. Discussion Pre-op, planned final positions were compared showed exceptional accuracy elimination human errors which common sensitive procedure such zygoma. This can easily be applied other procedures requiring realignment.
