"Hybrid Reconstruction" For Zygomaticomaxillary Complex Defect Using Cad/Cam: A Case Report

In this unique case report, we present a patient of left zygomatico maxillary complex reconstruction with a combination of autogenous tissue (osteocutaneous free fibula flap) and alloplastic implant [patient-specific templated polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)]. In such large defects, reconstruction using either autogenous tissue or alloplastic implant alone is inadequate and leads to poor functional and aesthetic outcomes. In this case we used osteocutaneous free fibula flap for left alveolus and patient-specific templated PMMA implant for reconstruction of orbital wall and zygoma. Osseointegrated implants were placed secondarily in the fibula for complete dental rehabilitation. With the use of virtual surgical planning and 3D printing we were able to achieve a good result for a complex defect. Since both autogenous tissue and alloplastic implant were used for complete reconstruction, we have named this as "hybrid reconstruction."
