Customized Titanium Plate Virtual Design and Deformation Simulation Analysis of Human Lateral Mandible Defect

Abstract

Aiming to improve the defect mandible reconstruction operation success rate, the original mandible and fibular 3D model were modeling separately. According to the patient’s virtual reconstruction mandible 3D model, the mandible customized virtual ti-plate was designed and modeling. Through comparing the deformation simulation analysis of reconstructive mandible, the maximum deformation occurred near the mandible midline. There was little deformation at bilateral mandible ramus posterior. As the loading on the reconstructive mandible increasing, the maximum deformation near the mandible midline was increasing. According to the customized titanium plate virtual design and deformation simulation analysis of human lateral mandible defect before operation, the simulation could predict the mandible maximum deformation position after the surgery. The doctors could improve the operation precision of mandible reconstruction and probability of success significantly.
