Cutting-edge patient-specific surgical plates for computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction: The art of matching structures and holes in precise surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Cutting-edge patient-specific surgical plates (PSSPs) are supposed to improve the efficiency, precision, and functional outcomes of mandibular reconstruction. This study characterized the premium role of PSSPs in precise surgery and explored their working principles in computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction (CAMR).

Methods

The PSSPs-enhanced surgical precision was investigated through the model surgery and representative cases. Spatial deviations of reconstruction were characterized by comparing the reconstructed mandible with the virtually designed mandible. Working principles of PSSPs were distinguished by a review of evolving surgical techniques in CAMR.

Results

In the model surgery, spatial deviations between the virtually planned mandible and the
