Three-Dimensional Printed Customized Titanium Mesh for Mandibular Augmentation

approach for planning and augmenting atrophic posterior mandibular ridge using a pre-customized TiMe on a 3D model. The 3D surgical model will be virtually created from a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and printed using Fused deposition modeling (FDM) machine. The 3D model will be then used to contour the TiMe in accordance with the needed amount of augmentation then will be used to help pack and contour the graft material.
