Correction of Mandibular Asymmetry With Bilateral Asymmetric Custom-Made 3D Implant
Correction of unilateral mandibular hypoplasia creates bilateral deformities. Our bilateral CAD/CAM titanium implant approach provides a novel solution, though most patients also require soft tissue adjustment. Despite being time-consuming and costly, future technological advances are expected to increase efficiency and reduce expense.
