3D-printed PEEK versus conventional free fibula flap for jaw reconstruction: a comparative clinical study
3D printing technology enables the fabrication of patient-specific PEEK implants with customized geometries. Owing to its stable biocompatibility, PEEK is suitable for reconstructing complex and irregular jaw defects. As a viable alternative for primary jaw reconstruction, it demonstrates promising clinical application prospects.
