Clinical, technical, and economic outcomes of 3D-printed bone substitutes in maxillofacial reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis
3D-printed bone substitutes significantly improve bone regeneration and reduce operative time in maxillofacial surgery. However, greater positional and angular deviations suggest the need for enhanced surgical navigation. These findings support the integration of 3D-printing in clinical practice, with emphasis on precision improvement in future applications.
