METHODS OF RESTORING DEFECTS AFTER RESECTION OF LOWER JAW TUMOR WITH CUSTOM-MADE TITANIUM IMPLANTS

Abstract

The success of restoring a volumetric bone defect of the lower jaw after surgical treatment generally depends on the design features of the implant replacing the defect, the immune inertness of the materials and the features of their interaction with the surrounding tissues. Medical rehabilitation of patients with defects and deformations of the jaws is a pressing issue in reconstructive maxillofacial surgery. Such defects cause significant dysfunction of the maxillofacial organs and disfigurement of the soft tissues of the lower face.
