Abstract

Head and neck reconstruction following ablative surgery results in alterations to maxillofacial anatomy and function. These postoperative changes complicate dental rehabilitation. An innovative modular, stackable guide system for immediate dental rehabilitation during mandibular reconstruction is presented. The virtual surgical planning was performed in Materialise Innovation Suite v26 and Blender 3.6 with the Blenderfordental add-on. The surgical guides and models were designed and manufactured at the point of care. The duration of the surgery was 9 h and 35 min. Good implant stability (>35 Ncm) and a stable occlusion were achieved. After 9 months of follow-up, the occlusion remained stable, and a mouth opening of 25 mm was registered. The dental implants showed no signs of peri-implant bone loss. Superposition of the preoperative planning and postoperative position of the fibula parts resulted in an average difference of 0.70 mm (range: -1.9 mm; 5.4 mm). The in-house developed stackable guide system resulted in a predictive workflow and accurate results. The preoperative virtual surgical planning was time-consuming and required extensive CAD/CAM and surgical expertise. The addition of fully guided implant placement to this stackable guide system would be beneficial. More research with longer follow-ups is necessary to validate these results.
