Digital Innovation in Complex Maxillofacial Reconstruction
Reestablishing three-dimensional bone contouring is the fundamental prerequisite for functional and aesthetic recovery in maxillofacial surgery
Congenital ?
For unilateral posttraumatic or congenital deformities, PEEK patient-specific implants (PSIs) offer a reliable alternative to autogenous bone grafts, which are often subject to unpredictable resorption. Through specialized software, a digital template of the non-injured side is mirrored and superimposed onto the affected side, allowing for a reconstruction accuracy of within 0.5 mm

This procedure dramatically minimizes the need for risky intraoperative adjustments, reduces the risk of infection, and provides a stable, long-term cosmetic result
