Popis: Background The advanced development of computer-assisted design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology aids in the process of producing patient-specific template for intraoperative dissection and fixation guide. To date, CAD/CAM technology has been greatly used in reconstructive mandibular cases to enhance accuracy, reduce operation time, and minimize possible complications. However, this technology was believed to be cost- and time-inefficient, limiting widespread use in several institutions.
