Abstract
Introduction
Patient-specific implants aided by 3D virtual planning and CAD-CAM technology represents the next frontier in rehabilitation of complex maxillofacial defects slowly replacing the gold standard autografts as the preferred mode of reconstruction.
Methods
In a first of its kind case series, we describe eight cases of complex maxillofacial defects managed by patient-specific implants at AFDC, New Delhi. All the designs went through stringent FEA analysis and GOM analysis to standardize the implant for achieving optimal functionality. We also added integrated dental implant component in the PSI to achieve immediate postoperative dental rehabilitation.
Conclusion
This case series adds to literature the varying scenarios in which PSI’s can be used in the maxillofacial region with functional dental rehabilitation thus paving a way for a new era in reconstruction.
