Jaw reconstruction with a focus on digital planning for dental rehabilitation and point of care manufacturing
Scientific Programme (On Demand)
Session Description
Jaw reconstruction with a focus on digital planning for dental rehabilitation and point of care manufacturing
Osseous free flap reconstruction of the jaw has become routine following the ablation of cancers and other tumours that require maxillectomy or segmental resection of the mandible. Optimal form and function depend on correct placement of the bone to facilitate osseointegrated implants for dental rehabilitation. There are also several evolving techniques that allow dental rehabilitation without the need for bone grafts and flaps. Virtual surgical planning has become an integral part of jaw reconstruction to ensure these goals are met. This lecture will describe the evolution in jaw reconstruction techniques from freehand to digital planning, virtual reality, and the routine application of point of care manufacturing in high volume centres of excellence.
