Innovative design of customized surgical devices for mandibular rehabilitation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Method: Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scan data of the pilot study (mandible affected by ameloblastoma) are elaborated to produce a virtual surgical plan including osteotomy sites, entity of bone resection and therefore reconstruction. STL files are produced for a cutting guide and a bone plate. The cutting guide and the bone plate of the device are finally constructed by Direct Metal Laser Sintering.
