Summary

JaW PrinT is a prospective observational cohort study evaluating the effectiveness of two different techniques of mandibular reconstruction.

Conditions

  • Neoplasm, Oral
  • Osteoradionecrosis of Jaw
  • Mandibular Diseases
  • Jaw Cancer
  • Jaw Diseases
  • Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Mandibular reconstruction with free tissue transfer.

Mandibular reconstruction with free tissue transfer (free-flap bony reconstruction) requires the use of a titanium plate to secure bony segments until bony healing is complete. Plates are made of titanium but can be customised to the anatomical shape of the mandible by two different techniques: flexing (bending) of the plate before surgery, or printing of the plate from titanium alloy powder bed fusion techniques (additive manufacturing, such as selective laser melting).
