Digitally-assisted Design for Precise Mandibular Defect Repair Using Autogenous Bone

This study introduces a novel surgical technique that leverages digital design for the precise repair of mandibular defects resulting from benign jaw tumors. The restoration of the mandibular defect is accomplished through autologous bone grafting from the mandible itself. This method significantly diminishes surgical complexity and risk, meeting the patient's preference to avoid additional surgical sites. Notably, 15 months postsurgery, the patient's mandible dimensions were suitable for dental implantation. Therefore, this technique has proven effective in repairing mandibular defects caused by the excision of benign tumors.
