Abstract
One of the main advantages of computer guided mandibular resection and reconstruction is keeping the normal alignment of the bony segments and preserving their harmony and orientation to maintain normal function and esthetics. In some situations, the normal orientation and contour is disturbed and so we need to restore it back. The adjustment of the bony segments was performed using the 2D dicom images and the 3D volumes, and the achieved results were transferred to the actual surgery using specially designed splints and Patient Specific Implants (PSI). The combined 2D-3D planning and the accuracy of the generated splints and PSI proved to be a technique that showed excellent outcomes.
