Mandibular Reconstruction Using 3D-Printing Modeling Technology

20 November 2009 by Objet Geometries

Mandibular reconstruction can be challenging for the surgeon wishing to restore its unique geometry. Reconstruction can be achieved with titanium bone plates and autogenous bone grafting.

The use of 3D-printing modeling enables accurate contouring of plates prior to surgery. Furthermore, this technology can be utilized during the second stage of reconstruction, in which a template is created for the harvesting of a bone implant.
