“…A pioneering multicenter study, using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) guides, demonstrated that customized guides have greater surgical accuracy than the conventional method [4,5,6]. Several studies have performed virtual guide modeling with CAD/CAM technology and 3D printing of customized plates and guides using biocompatible photoactivated resin or titanium [1][2][3][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The translation of virtually planned movements to the operative field is more accurate with the use of these customized titanium devices.…”

“…The translation of virtually planned movements to the operative field is more accurate with the use of these customized titanium devices. Custom-made miniplates are still state-of-the-art in the field of orthognathic surgery [6,7,8]. However, the logistics, the time required for industrial production, and the high manufacturing costs, which are rarely covered by health plans, may limit surgeons' access to customized titanium miniplates [6].…”

“…Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a bioinert polymer that has been used in orthopedics as bearing material in artificial joints and in metal-on-UHMWPE articulation. Since the 1990s, owing to its combination of excellent bioinertness and mechanical performance, UHMWPE has attracted permanent interest as a suitable solution in the reconstructive surgery of cartilage in hip and knee joints [1] and in intervertebral discs [2], as well as in oral and maxillofacial surgery [3]. The current practice of implant fabrication involves hot molding and further subtractive mechanical shaping of bulk UHMWPE.…”

“…Yet and optimally, one should try to achieve patient-specific reconstructive plates with proper screw angulation and implant positions readily in place. The utilization of patient-specific 3D printed plates (PSPP) and surgical templates have already been applied for various oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures with positive feedback, such as orthognathic surgery, trauma surgery, distraction osteogenesis, cranioplasty, tumor resection surgery 8–12 . Although it may provide the surgeon with better accuracy, save time and help to reduce complications, one should bear in mind that it may cost more money and need more effort preoperatively 13 …”
