Abstract
The aim of the work is to describe the technical procedures adopted to realize a custom-made clinical device, designed through a digital workflow, to improve the decompression of odontogenic cysts. After an incisional biopsy to confirm the histologic nature of the osteolytic jaw lesion, a digital impression of the dental arches, obtained by intraoral scanner, and a CBCT of the jaws, were acquired. The STL (Standard tessellation language) and DICOM files were matched and the decompression device was designed by the use of CAD software (Exocad, 3.1). The 3D-printed resin replica was obtained and cast with a surgical alloy. The delivered device proved to be safe and effective in decompressing the osteolytic lesions.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery serves as a forum of communication for all those involved in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery. Coverage ranges from practical aspects of craniofacial surgery to the basic science that underlies surgical practice. The journal publishes original articles, scientific reviews, editorials and invited commentary, abstracts and selected articles from international journals, and occasional international bibliographies in craniofacial surgery.
