Introduction:Achieving anatomic reduction and re-establishing premorbid occlusion in patients with complex maxillomandibular fractures is challenging even for seasoned surgeons. Historically, surgeons have utilized occlusal splints to help establish occlusal relationships before fracture reduction and fixation. These acrylic splints are fabricated from dental impressions and require manual repositioning of tooth bearing segments along the fracture line to reapproximate premorbid occlusion. The process is laborious, requires a dental lab, and is less efficacious in edentulous patients or those with significantly comminuted fractures; as such it has largely fallen out of practice. Recently, with advances in virtual 3D modeling and printing, we demonstrate that occlusal splints can be designed from computed tomography scans, manipulated virtually, and printed without obtaining impressions from the patient.Methods/Results:In our series of 3 patients with complex maxillomandibular fractures, occlusal splints were created by 1) obtaining maxillofacial computed tomography scans, 2) reducing the fractures virtually, and 3) using orthognathic virtual surgery software to create the splint. The time between planning and delivery of the splint was 4 to 7 days. These splints were successfully utilized to help establish premorbid occlusion in conjunction with maxillomandibular fixation and aided in expeditious intraoperative fracture reduction and fixation.Conclusions:In the treatment of complex facial fractures, occlusal splints can be a useful adjunct in the operative reduction and fixation of fractures. With the advent of virtual preoperative surgical planning via 3D modeling and 3D printing, these occlusal splints can be created of a sufficient fidelity to avoid the strict need for dental impressions.
