Mandibular Reconstruction Using Custom-made Titanium Mesh Tray and Particulate Cancellous Bone and Marrow: A case report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To report the result of mandibular reconstruction using a custom-made titanium mesh tray and particulate cancellous bone and marrow.
Patient Report: The patient was diagnosed with an odontogenic keratocyst in the mandible. Virtual Simulation: Using computer software from preoperative computed tomography data, a 3D skull model was created using a 3D printer. This produced personalized custom-made titanium mesh tray sheets. After harvesting PCBM from the iliac bones, the custom-made titanium mesh tray was fixed with screws into the mandible. The outline of the mandible, as well as the newly created tissue, were radiologically evaluated after 2-year of operation. Good treatment results were found. The patient's facial shape was similar to that before the surgery.
Conclusion: Mandibular bone grafting surgery using custom-made titanium mesh trays and particulate cancellous bone and marrow produced good results.
