Patient Specific Implants

Three-dimensional (3D) virtual surgical planning, the creation of anatomical models, and the development of patient-specific implants (PSI) have become well-recognized methodologies within the realm of surgery. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is increasingly utilized, particularly in reconstructive procedures, as a dependable substitute for other alloplastic materials in the production of PSI. The application of computer-engineered PSI facilitates more precise reconstruction of maxillofacial defects, mitigating the common complications associated with traditional preformed implants and leading to enhanced patient satisfaction.
