Reconstruction of complex maxillofacial defects where the use of bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite grafts may be preferred can be done using perforated titanium shells or forms that confine the graft material and simultaneously establish the desired shape of the augmentation without resorting to autogenous block bone grafting. Reported here is a method for creation of rapid-prototype titanium bone forms, which was developed from a software program, to reproduce bone morphology precisely. The technique and treatment planning objectives are elucidated, especially with regard to complex vertical augmentations.

Article Synopsis
- Orbital reconstruction surgery involves precise implant placement to restore the eye socket's shape, and new technologies like intra-operative CT and rapid-prototype biomodels are being tested to see if they can reduce post-operative complications.
- A retrospective study evaluated the effects of these technologies on issues like diplopia (double vision), altered sensation, cosmetic results, and the ability to return to work in patients with isolated orbital fractures.
- Results showed that using intra-operative CT and RP biomodels reduced the incidence of post-operative diplopia without significant differences in other complications, validating the use of these technologies in surgery.

In revision total hip arthroplasty (THA), large acetabular bone defects pose challenges for surgeons. Recently, wide application of trabecular tantalum, which has outstanding biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing have led to the introduction of new schemes for acetabular reconstruction. However, few studies have focused on the treatment of bone defects with customized 3D-printed titanium augments combined with tantalum trabecular cup.

Objective: This study sought to compare the biocompatibility of a three-dimensional (3D)-printed titanium implant with a conventional machined titanium product, as well as the effect of such implant applied with recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein Type 2 (rhBMP-2) for guided bone regeneration.
Methodology: Disk-shaped titanium specimens fabricated either by the conventional machining technique or by the 3D-printing technique were compared by MC3T3-E1 cells cytotoxicity assay. New bone formation was evaluated using a rapid prototype titanium cap applied to the calvaria of 10 rabbits, which were divided into two groups: one including an atelopeptide collagen plug on one side of the cap (group I) and the other including a plug with rhBMP-2 on the other side (group II).

Traditional reconstruction of major alveolar ridge deficiency has required autogenous cortical cancellous particulate bone grafts, often augmented with particulate allogeneic components. Now there is a new concept to consider, that of orthoalveolar form. This paradigm shift involves components of the tissue engineering triad of inductive growth factors combined with a matrix and stem cells, together with osteotomies or devices designed for space maintenance.

Objectives: To develop the canine vertebral screw and rod fixation system (CVSRF) and to compare the biomechanical properties between CVSRF and the screw and polymethylmethacrylate (Screw-PMMA) technique for internal fixation of the vertebral column in dogs.
Methods: The CVSRF consisted of vertebral screws with monoaxial side-loaded head, rods and specific inner screws connecting rod to the screw head. The CVSRF prototype was made from titanium alloy and manufactured by the rapid prototype machine.
