Safety of resection margins in CAD/CAM-guided primarily reconstructed oral squamous cell carcinoma-a retrospective case series.
After resection of malignancies of the jaws, CAD/CAM procedures have become standard for primary bony reconstruction. Even so, these techniques may limit surgical resection safety. Therefore, the aim of the study was to examine osseous as well as soft tissue resection margins after CAD/CAM-guided tumor resections and reconstructions. ⋯ CAD/CAM procedure allows safe tumor resection with the profit of a guided and accurate reconstruction. In contrast to positive soft tissue margins, positive bony resection margins did not increase recurrence parameters.
