Maxillary Reconstruction Using rhBMP-2 and Titanium Mesh: Technical Note About the Use of Stereolithographic Model

Maxillary reconstruction is a common procedure in maxillofacial surgery; for this purpose is used autogenous bone, alloplastic bone or another one with different results. In all of them, traditionally the use of computed tomography is used to make the surgical plan, however, 3D models are not used frequently. This report show a new application of the stereolithography to anticipate the surgical treatment of maxillary reconstruction, using a titanium mesh and rhBMP-2 to obtain a predictable surgical result with diminished surgical time.
