Virtual surgical planning and 3D-printed guided biopsy of bilateral lesions in the mandible: a case report

Purpose: To report the use of virtual surgical planning and a 3D printed drill guide for the biopsy of mandibular lesions. Case report: A 38-year-old woman presented with two bilateral lesions in the mandibular body, in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and the molar roots. An incisional biopsy was planned with coDiagnostiX software using the cone beam computed tomography DICOM files and a cast model that had been digitalized using a bench scanner (7series, Dental Wings, Quebec, Canada). A tooth-supported drill guide was produced by 3D printing with digital light processing technology (Moonray S, Sprintray, CA, USA). The surgical procedure was performed under local anesthesia. No complications were observed intraoperatively or during postoperative recovery. Conclusion: The use of an intraoperative surgical 3D-printed drill guide enables a smaller surgical procedure and more precise bone biopsies.

A myriad of extirpative surgical protocols for the management of benign tumors of the jaws have been presented in the literature. Through significant advancements in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology and surgical instrumentation, today surgeons have at their disposal robust technology-driven techniques that are aimed at improving surgical outcomes. Our goal is to investigate the benefits of implementing virtual surgical planning (VSP) in conjunction with piezoelectric surgery (PES) to ensure success while minimizing the risk of complications during extirpation of tumors of the mandible. This case report describes the successful extirpation of an ossifying fibroma of the mandible in an adult patient using both VSP and PES.
