Abstract
For 20 years, maxillofacial surgery has benefited from the use of 3D modeling and rapid prototyping techniques in the realization of physical replicas of the patient’s anatomy in the presurgical planning of complex mandibular distraction osteogenesis. It is known that the main disadvantages of distraction osteogenesis are the long surgical time and the complicated placement and manipulation of distractors during surgery. Furthermore, this treatment could be of high risk, especially in pediatric patients, as multiple postoperative complications can occur, and it is very important to preserve the integrity of the mandibular nerve during the operation.
