New technique of immediate maxillofacial bone reconstruction
new technique of immediate maxillofacial bone reconstruction -The mandibular engineering technique ensures functional and esthetic rehabilitation without need to remove other parts of the body of the patient’s own bone -3D virtual planning allows to design the surgery in a way very precise and minimally invasive that shortens the time of surgery and recovery -30% of patients with lack of teeth They also suffer a loss of bone requiring reconstruction Barcelona, March 2012.- El Dr. Federico Hernández Alfaro, Maxillofacial surgeon of Centro Médico Teknon, has successfully conducted an immediate maxillofacial bone reconstruction without removing other parts of the body of the patient’s own bone.
