| Abstract: | Large mandibular continuity defects pose a significant challenge in oral maxillofacial surgery. One solution to this problem is to use computer-guided surgical planning and additive manufacturing technology to produce patient-specific reconstruction plates. However, when designing customized plates, it is important to assess potential biomechanical responses that may vary substantially depending on the size and geometry of the defect. |
