Mandible Reconstruction With Custom-Made Plates in Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw-A Case Series.

: Restoration of the mandibular region after segmental resection surgery is crucial for masticatory function and facial aesthetics. The precision of three-dimensional printers has advanced in recent years, enabling the development of fully customized reconstruction plates. In recent years, three-dimensional printing technology has been applied in the field of dental and oral surgery.

Clinical Study of 14 Cases of Bone Augmentation with Selective Laser Melting Titanium Mesh Plates.

Additive manufacturing techniques are being used in the medical field. Orthopedic hip prostheses and denture bases are designed and fabricated based on the patient's computer-aided design (CAD) data. We attempted to incorporate this technique into dental implant bone augmentation.

Enhancement of in vitro antibacterial activity and bioactivity of iodine-loaded titanium by micro-scale regulation using mixed-acid treatment.

Postoperative infection and subsequent device loss are serious complications in the use of titanium dental implants and plates for jawbone reconstruction. We have previously reported that NaOH-CaCl -thermal-ICl -treated titanium (NaCaThIo) has a nano-scale surface and exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The present study examined the surface properties of mixed-acid treated and then iodine-treated titanium (MA-NaCaThIo), and evaluated oral antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity compared with the results obtained with NaCaThIo.
