Mandibular defects, often arising from trauma, tumors, or congenital anomalies, can severely impact both function and aesthetics. Conventional reconstruction methods have their limitations, often resulting in suboptimal outcomes. In these reports, we detail clinical cases where patients with different mandibular defects underwent reconstructive surgery. In each instance, autologous grafts were harvested to ensure the restoration of native bone tissue, while advanced virtual planning techniques were employed for precise graft design and dental implant placement. The patients experienced substantial improvements in masticatory function, speech, and facial aesthetics. Utilizing autologous grafts minimized the risk of rejection and complications associated with foreign materials. The integration of virtual planning precision allowed customized solutions, reducing surgical duration and optimizing implant positioning. These 2 cases underscores the potential of combining autologous grafts with virtual planning precision and dental implants produced by additive manufacturing for mandible reconstruction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/dj12070192","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]],"date-time":"2024-06-24T03:53:43Z","timestamp":1719201223000},"page":"192","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Digital Implant-Supported Restoration Planning Placed in Autologous Graft Using Titanium Implants Produced by Additive Manufacturing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Rafael Seabra","family":"Louro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, School of Dentistry, Fluminense Federal University, Niter\u00f3i 24020-140, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5739-394X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vittorio","family":"Moraschini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, School of Dentistry, Fluminense Federal University, Niter\u00f3i 24020-140, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Melhem-Elias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry of the University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 05508-000, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6544-8082","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"George Patrick Sotero","family":"Sturzinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, School of Dentistry, Fluminense Federal University, Niter\u00f3i 24020-140, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9130-8136","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renata Augusto","family":"Amad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Dental Research Division, Guarulhos University, Guarulhos 07023-040, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1971-0195","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamil A.","family":"Shibli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Dental Research Division, Guarulhos University, Guarulhos 07023-040, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e30161","article-title":"Approach for Mandibular Reconstruction Using Vascularized Free Fibula Flap: A Review of the Literature","volume":"14","author":"Fatani","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ferraz, M.P.
