The comparison of the functional outcome of CAD/CAM-assisted versus conventional microvascular, fibular free flap reconstruction of the mandible was the aim of this study. We retrospectively analysed 30 cases of mandibular reconstructions. Both methods showed similar results regarding long term stability, patient satisfaction and functional outcome. Advantages oft he CAD/CAM assisted reconstruction were higher precision and safety fort he surgeon, reduced operation time and a better result in form, function and esthetics.
