Objective Evaluation of Accuracy of Stereolithographic Models in Reconstruction of Mandibular Defects.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Functional reconstruction of oromandibular defects has long been a surgical challenge. In recent years, computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques have led to better evaluation of outcomes in terms of morphology and function. Previous studies comparing CAD/CAM to conventional methods have indicated significant improvement of technical accuracy with digital guidance, but final outcomes often still contain deviances of several millimeters. The purpose of this study was to morphometrically compare preplanned scenario with the stereolithographic model. Materials and Methods: A prospective study composed of 15 patients with any pathology or defect who underwent computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction with vascularized free fibula flap were evaluated. Morphometric assessment from mental foramen to mental foramen, gonion to gonion, gonion-gnathion and vertical length of the ramus on the 3D model measured using digital caliper was compared with that of 3D CT data obtained using Osteo 3D proprietary software using the independent Results: Descriptive statistics with frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation was taken. The statistical analysis indicate that the comparisons of measuring the reference points on the 3D CT and 3D models do not have significant differences where Conclusion: Stereolithographic models enable simulation of the resective and reconstructive phases, prebending of reconstruction plates and fabrication of surgical guides and it also confers reproducible precision and accuracy for free fibular mandibular reconstruction.
