3D Custom Made Implants
We are all living and operating, in a new advanced era of technology and method with 3D printing offering solutions to patients around the world.
The 3D Custom made implants for cranio-maxillofacial surgery have already been giving hope to patients while the materials used are no other than titanium, known for its high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
A 3D Custom Made titanium implant can be effectively used in the reconstruction of the zygoma and mandible instead of autogenous bone without donor site morbidity.
In addition, 3D Custom Made Implants, provide a better visualization of the anatomy and pathology of the patient and they can replicate the shape, size, texture and color of the part that needs to be operated on.
Patients are usually worried about the side effects of using titanium since the procedure affects the teeth, blood vessels and nerves but nevertheless the pain, numbness and and tingling on gums, lips and teeth are common.
Based on our experience we do recommend to patients to take time to heal. For example, an operation on the jaw typically takes about six weeks after surgery to heal with full healing to be completed sometimes in twelve weeks.
We are pleased to offer our services and advice to patients who need to have surgery while providing the needed support and guidance for a steady recovery.
Always follow instructions from your doctor and be in frequent contact as there are certain steps to be taken for the best and quickest recovery.
Finally, we would like to inform you that 3D Custom Made Implants (with the exception of dental implants) are under GESY.
