摘要

Segmental resection of the mandible, often necessitated by benign and malignant pathologies, leads to significant functional and cosmetic deformities. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the mandible is essential to preserve the patient’s quality of life. The advent of virtual surgical planning and 3D printing has significantly enhanced mandibular reconstruction techniques, yielding improved treatment outcomes. This report highlights the pros and cons of patient-specific 3D-printed titanium implants based on our experience of successfully treating three patients, who underwent segmental resection for benign mandibular tumors of the mandible.
