Reconstruction of a maxillary defect with a fibula graft and titanium mesh using CAD/CAM techniques: Case report

We present a case of maxillary and orbital floor reconstruction with a microvascular fibula graft and an individualized titanium mesh. Both were planned virtually; templates were made by rapid prototyping.

The postoperative computertomography scans showed that the planned positions were achieved correctly. This case report illustrates maxillary reconstruction performed with a special template technique and demonstrates the possibilities of computer aided design/ computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications in reconstructive surgery.
