Objective: The purpose of this study was to to assess the influence of computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction with iliac crest bone graft regarding the functional and morphological outcomes compared to the virtually performed surgery. Furthermore, the reliability of the measured values was evaluated.
Materials and methods: The study is a prospective case series for computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction patients with iliac crest graft. Primary outcome variable was the functional and morphological outcome variables when correlated to the virtual preoperative values. The secondary outcome was deciding the reliability of the utilized evaluation methodology. All recorded data were documented, tabulated, computed, and analyzed using inter-class coefficient (ICC) test . Statistical significance was set at the 5% level.
Results: Nine consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. A highly statistically significant degree of agreement between the preoperative and postoperative measurements was recorded regarding all of the angular and linear parameters (P
