Abstract
Rehabilitation of patients after surgical treatment of maxillofacial cancer represents a major challenge and is the focus of attention in modern clinical oncology. The purpose of our study was to develop a personalized approach to the reconstruction of maxillofacial bone defects using bioceramic implants. We used 3D printing to customize bioceramic osteoimplants. These implants precisely fitted the anatomical shape of the maxillofacial region and had all strength characteristics. The presence of a bimodal pore structure of bioceramic implants favorably affected their integration ability. Fourteen reconstructive surgeries were performed in patients with maxillofacial tumors. In all cases, good cosmetic and functional results were achieved. Bioceramic implants meet all requirements for medical materials used in reconstructive surgery. The new technique of a personalized maxillofacial reconstruction using bioceramic implants can be safely used for cancer patients.
