ABSTRACT

Computer aid design and manufacture have been widely applied in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Reconstruction of hemi-mandibular defects after tumor ablation is a major challenge for clinicians due to its complex architecture. We report of a case treated with innovation technique, including the use of computer assisted modeling to preoperatively design of the excision of the mandible tumors and the integration of rapid prototyping techniques in mandibular reconstruction. The patient received hemimandibulectomy for the tumor excision and reconstructed with titanium condyle-plate, and followed up for 4 years without recurrence and retained good function.
