Abstract

The introduction of computer-assisted surgical planning and computer-aided manufacturing in reconstructive surgery has been proven to have many advantages such as decreased operative and ischemic times and superior accuracy.1-3 However, even with the introduction of computer-assisted surgical planning, one of the main challenges is accurate positioning of the surgical cutting guide due to lack of anatomical landmarks and soft tissue interferences during placement. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of osteotomy lines produced by the virtually planned 3-dimensionally printed cutting guides and to assess the overall accuracy of mandibular resection using virtual planning and patient-specific reconstruction plates.
