Abstract

Abstract: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has always been the research hotspots in the field of dental implantology research, and it is also one of the difficulties in clinical technology. In recent years, titanium mesh has been widely used in GBR treatment owing to its good mechanical properties and structure support function. However, the traditional titanium mesh can not completely conform to the alveolar bone morphology, which may lead to mucosal or wound tearing, titanium mesh exposure, and other complications. With the rise of 3D printing technology, CAD/CAM technology can be used to design and manufacture custom-made titanium mesh with specific shape, thickness and pore size. Custom-made titanium mesh can better fit the bone defects and significantly reduce the surgery time and the exposure rate, especially suitable for large bone defect with complex anatomical morphology. This paper introduces the application and research status of custom-made titanium mesh used for bone augmentation in implant treatment.

Key words: custom-made titanium mesh, bone augmentation, guided bone regeneration, 3D printing technology
