We operated on two patients using this new technique.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The custom\u2010made templates showed excellent passive fit on the respective mandibles and accurately guided the reciprocating saw blade along the resection margins. The template was also capable of maintaining the spatial relation of the resected mandibles and the patients experienced excellent repeatable occlusion. Superimposition of pre\u2010 and postoperative cone\u2010beam CT scans showed restoration of mandibular symmetry and maximum deviation of 0.4\u20131.4 (mean of 0.9) mm from the preoperative condylar position. The achieved resection margins using the template showed a mean distance of 1.17 mm from the virtually planned ones.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>We present an innovative computer\u2010guided template that allowed for accurate guidance of mandibular resection margins and condylar positioning. The technique needs to be applied in a larger cohort of patients to verify the results. Further modifications of the design and rigidity of the template might proof beneficial.
