Patient Specific Implants for Maxillofacial Reconstruction

In the vast majority of cases, precise symmetric reconstruction of maxillofacial defects remains an unsolved problem for craniofacial surgeons. Patient specific implants have contributed considerably to improvement in the accuracy and reliability of facial rehabilitation, rapidly becoming an irreplaceable part of the surgical armamentarium.
3d printed prosthesis could be an advantageous and promising alternative to the use of other alloplastic materials. Moreover, custom made implants has the potential not only to achieve predictable correction for congenital or acquired deformities but also to serve a merely cosmetic purpose.
