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.

Patient Specific Implants for Reconstruction of Orbital Floor

Patient specific implants simplify the reconstruction of orbital floor and wall fractures, and should be considered a more accurate alternative to manually bent titanium mesh implants. 3d printed implants allow for the application of safe, time-effective, daily procedures; accordingly, its use should be encouraged.
As stated by the World Health Organization, custom made implants should play a key role in daily routines, and furthermore should replace conventional implants by 2020. Additively manufactured implants for the reconstruction of orbital floor and wall fractures is now readily available.

Custom made Titanium Prosthesis for Chest

A titanium custom made chest wall implant could be a viable alternative for patients who had large chest wall tumors. From our experience, we conclude that the patient specific titanium implant may be used safely and effectively. It is additively manufactured by one of the new technologies that can allow thoracic surgeons to perform a wide anterior chest wall resection including of the sternum.
Despite the fact that the used custom made titanium implant is novel and has not been used previously, the use of other types of titanium implants has been proved to be safe and effective.
