Personalized and standard CMF solutions
Practice using virtual surgical planning, guided surgery, a digital workflow, and personalized implants to improve patient outcomes.
Personalization leads to an improved fit and, therefore, improved precision.
The biggest advantage of personalized TMJ implants is precision. Standard implants require significant intraoperative adjustments, which increases the procedure's complexity and introduces variability. Personalized implants, on the other hand, are designed to match the patient’s anatomy exactly. This eliminates the guesswork during surgery and ensures better outcomes.
One of the best methods is fusing the virtual plan with your operative result while the patient is still under anesthesia. By comparing the two, you check whether you have properly placed the patient-specific implants. The possibility that something will go wrong is almost impossible.
The foremost advantage lies in the impeccable fit of the implant — it fits perfectly. This leads to enhanced stability. Additionally, this approach reduces operation time, which enables us to streamline procedures and achieve efficient outcomes.
