“…As a result, in this specific surgical field, SN is a potential tool for enhancing surgical orientation and accuracy. (11,12) A surgical probe, a localizer, and a computed tomography (CT) dataset are the three main parts of SN. By reflecting infrared or electromagnetic signals to the localizer, the probe acts as a vehicle, similar to an automobile global positioning system (GPS).…”

“…Prospective multicenter investigations have validated the accuracy of the technology for anatomical reconstruction of the orbital volume using patient-specific CAD/CAM implants made of laser-sintered titanium. (11) The results of orbital reconstructions with personalized implants are now much more functional and aesthetically pleasing thanks to developments in computer-assisted surgery. Due to its radiolucent properties, stiffness, lightweight nature, and compatibility with traditional CAD/CAM techniques, Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a high-performance polymer with bone-like elasticity, excellent biocompatibility, high yield strength, and fatigue resistance, has become more and more popular in reconstructive surgeries.…”

This systematic review investigates the current methods and long-term results of maxillofacial surgery orbital defect restoration with personalized implants. PRISMA standards were followed in order to identify and analyze pertinent studies that focused on patient-specific implants (PSI) for orbital abnormalities. This was accomplished by a thorough search of multiple databases. The findings demonstrate how well PSI works to improve both functional and cosmetic outcomes, such as the correction of facial asymmetries, enophthalmos, and diplopia. Surgical navigation and 3D printing are examples of cutting-edge technology that have improved orbital defect reconstruction's precision and versatility. While some research points to a trend toward better results when using PSI as opposed to more conventional methods, additional long-term data is required to properly assess its effectiveness. The analysis highlights the role that customized implants play in attaining the best possible outcomes and urges more research to improve surgical methods and assess patient outcomes over long time frames.
