Abstract
The advent of patient-specific implants (PSIs) in oral and maxillofacial surgery marks a significant milestone in the field, promising enhanced precision, functionality, and aesthetic outcomes of the patient. PSIs are customdesigned to match an individual patient’s anatomy, offering a tailored approach to complex surgical procedures. This case report looks at how custom-designed implants made with cutting-edge 3D printing technologies changed the life of a patient with a large ameloblastoma of the follicular and plexiform type in anterior mandibular region. We made the implants to fit the patient's specific anatomy and physiological needs. We used a 3D computed tomography scan to identify and diagnose this abnormal growth, and obtained DICOM detailed imaging and then performed a successful intraorally surgical procedure for simultaneous resection and rebuilding, utilizing a custom-made 3D-printed implant for the patient. This case report exemplifies how patient-specific implants when tailored to a patient’s unique anatomy, can significantly enhance the quality of care in oral and maxillofacial surgery, offering substantial benefits in both complex tumor resection and reconstruction.
