Abstract
This study investigated the feasibility of a parametric mandible reconstruction plate in order to reduce surgical lead time, improve fit, and reduce residual stresses. The parametric plates were generated on the basis of simulated cephalometric measurements. A finite element analysis and a reconstruction plate/mandible fit test were performed on several combinations to determine whether the parametric plate provided a suitable alternative to conventional reconstruction plates in terms of fit and structural performance. The results indicated that the parametric plate is structurally superior to a conventional plate. The comparison test indicated that the parametric plate provides a reasonable approximation of mandible geometry.
期刊介绍：
The South African Journal of Industrial Engineering (SAJIE) publishes articles with the emphasis on research, development and application within the fields of Industrial Engineering and Engineering and Technology Management. In this way, it aims to contribute to the further development of these fields of study and to serve as a vehicle for the effective interchange of knowledge, ideas and experience between the research and training oriented institutions and the application oriented industry. Articles on practical applications, original research and meaningful new developments as well as state of the art surveys are encouraged.
