Evaluation of aesthetic outcomes of mandibular reconstruction using artificial intelligence.

Journal: Head & neck
PMID: 38698733

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although vascularized bone graft (VBG) transfer is the current standard for mandibular reconstruction, reconstruction with a mandibular reconstruction plate (MRP) and with a soft-tissue flap (STF) alone remain crucial options for patients with poor general conditions. However, objective aesthetic outcome evaluations for these methods are limited.
