Use of CAD/CAM Workflow and Patient-Specific Implants for Maxillary Reconstruction: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Reconstruction of the maxilla and midface remains one of the most demanding challenges in craniofacial surgery, requiring precise planning and a clear understanding of defect geometry to achieve functional and esthetic restoration. Advances in computer-assisted surgery (CAS) and virtual surgical planning (VSP), based on 3D segmentation of radiologic imaging, have significantly improved the management of maxillary deformities, allowing for further knowledge of patient-specific information, including anatomy, pathology, surgical planning, and reconstructive issues. The integration of computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and 3D printing has further transformed reconstruction through customized titanium meshes, implants, and surgical guides.
