Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: Despite the advent of stereolithography in craniofacial surgery for creating surgical guides and custom synthetic scaffolds, little is known about the feasibility of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milling of freeze-dried allogeneic bone blocks following previously designed volumetric graft plans. The aim of this technical report is to present a methodology for CAD/CAM milling to achieve the volume and shape of allogeneic bone blocks as estimated by using a virtual planning software. To perform the current methodology, an ex vivo simulation was performed. The milled allogeneic block presented satisfactory dimensional accuracy as compared with the respective three-dimensional virtual model.
