Treatment and reconstruction of benign lower jaw tumors with individually manufactured titanium implants

Abstract

A complex problem of maxillofacial surgery is the development of methods for surgical restoration of organ integrity and function. Currently, various surgical methods and materials are used to restore a bone defect. Today, in Russia and CIS countries, titanium plates from the "Konmet" company are used for defect plasty after removing a tumor from the lower jaw. Using this
design allows you to place the jaw in the prick and restore the movement of the lower jaw. However, the flat, narrow shape of the implant does not restore facial symmetry, does not allow prosthetics with non-removable structures, and wearing removable prostheses creates great inconvenience. Based on this, it is known that to provide qualified assistance to this category of patients, complex operations are required with the involvement of a group of specialists: orthopedic dentists, maxillofacial surgeons,
therapists, etc. - for subsequent rehabilitation, which determines the relevance of the topic. Objective: The aim of the study is to justify the use of individual titanium implants for benign tumors of the mandible. Research methods and materials: Methods for investigating titanium reconstruction of the mandible necessitated by benign tumors.
