What They Are (For the news)
Custom jaw implants are patient specific devices engineered to correct skeletal deformities, asymmetry or deficiencies. Unlike standard implants (I hate them), they are designed from 3D imaging and CAD/CAM workflows to perfectly match an individual’s anatomy.
What You Need to Know?
-Detailed mandibular/maxillary anatomy, including neurovascular structures
-Bone density and thickness
-Soft tissue coverage and vascularization
-Functional biomechanics like bite forces, mastication vectors
The Team members:
-Maxillofacial surgeon (primary and the most important)
-Radiologist (3D imaging acquisition)
-Biomedical engineer / CAD/CAM specialist
-Orthodontist (if occlusal adjustment is necessary and 2th most important)
Diagnostics & Imaging:
— Cone beam CT or high resolution CT for precise 3D modeling (Specialized X ray scans that produce detailed 3D images of the jaw bones, teeth, and surrounding skeletal structures allowing precise measurement and surgical planning
— MRI for soft tissue evaluation if needed (Imaging that visualizes soft tissues, nerves, and muscles around the jaw, used when soft tissue anatomy or pathology must be assessed)
— Dental impressions or intraoral scans (techniques to capture the exact shape of teeth and bite relationships impressions use molds, while scans create a digital 3D model)
— 3D facial scans or photogrammetry for aesthetics (its a non invasive imaging that records the external contours of the face to evaluate symmetry, proportions, and aesthetic outcomes before surgery)
Material Selection
(These are the type of implants that can be used as a jaw implant)
Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) strong as fuck, biocompatible, radiopaque
PEEK: lighter, radiolucent, elastic modulus closer to bone
Porous or HA: coated surfaces for osseointegration
Safety:
-FDA or CE approval for patient specific implants
-ISO 10993 biocompatibility testing
Sterilization validation
-Mechanical failure and infection risk assessment
Cost & reward
-Significantly more expensive than standard implants..
- Became a chad (main point)
