“Hybrid Reconstruction” for Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Defect Using CAD/CAM: A Case Report

Abstract: Summary: In this unique case report, we present a patient of left zygomatico maxillary complex reconstruction with a combination of autogenous tissue (osteocutaneous free fibula flap) and alloplastic implant [patient-specific templated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)]. In such large defects, reconstruction using either autogenous tissue or alloplastic implant alone is inadequate and leads to poor functional and aesthetic outcomes. In this case we used osteocutaneous free fibula flap for left alveolu… Show more

“…Various surgical concepts to reconstruct maxillary defects have been presented in international literature including soft tissue or bone flaps alone or in combination with bone grafts and/or alloplastic materials (26)(27)(28)(29)(30). With each method having its advantages, soft tissue transplants alone generally neither allow bony reconstruction of the alveolar ridge necessary for the placement of dental implants nor do they provide sufficiently stable reshaping of the oral cavity for the use of removable dental prostheses, especially in the upper jaw.…”

“…PSI involves using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques to create customized implants based on the patient's preoperative imaging data [14]. The implants can be made of various biocompatible materials, such as titanium, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) [15], polyether ether ketone (PEEK) [16], or ceramic [17]. PSI offers several advantages over standard implants, such as improved accuracy, reduced intraoperative time, better cosmetic outcomes, and lower risk of infection or complications.…”
