Abstract

Reconstruction of the jaws after tumour ablation surgery requires understanding of craniofacial anatomy and dental occlusion in order to restore function and aesthetics. With the rapid advancement of computer and software technology, computer assisted surgery using virtual surgical planning and 3D printing technology has become more popular. It has been shown that it significantly reduces surgical time and improves accuracy. This allows dental implants to be inserted simultaneously during jaw reconstruction surgery which can significantly reduce the recovery time. In this presentation, the workflow of computer assisted jaw reconstruction with simultaneous dental implants and its rehabilitation will be illustrated in some selected clinical cases.
