Abstract
This study aimed to introduce an innovative method for mandibular condylectomy. A customized three-dimensional (3D) printed template is used to perform precise condylectomy in an intraoral approach. Condylectomy combined with orthognathic surgery was used for the treatment of facial asymmetry secondary to unilateral condylar hyperplasia. The customized 3D printed osteotomy guide was placed with an intraoral approach under endoscopy, in order to perform a precise condylectomy. With the customized 3D printed template, the condylectomy was performed more precisely, and the conventional extraoral incision was avoided. The osteotomy line was accurately transferred from the virtual surgical plan to the real surgery, which assured the precise resection. The intraoral approach combined with a 3D printed template provides a novel solution to perform the condylectomy precisely.
