Virtual reduction and 3D printing in the management of edentulous atrophic mandibular body fractures: case series and literature review
Virtual fracture reduction and plate pre-bending on stereolithographic models represent a valuable tool for managing severe atrophic mandibular fractures. The authors believe this approach has potential to improve operative accuracy and reduce surgical time in these complex cases, offering good cost-effectiveness and time efficiency.
