Figure 9. Three-dimensional Planning of Surgical Guides and Patient-specific Implants.

A: Surgical cutting guides are designed to accurately position the osteotomies for a segmental resection of the anterior mandible. Bone painted in red represents the resected bone. Notice the included guiding paths for drilling holes indicating future screw placement in the patient-specific plate. B: Following resection. C: The planned patient-specific implant including a meshed crib allowing placement of autogenous bone graft for future dental implant insertion.
