Abstract: Complex and severe alveolar bone defect is an important factor affecting the esthetic and long-term stability of dental implants. Compared to conventional bone augmentation, digital and custom bone augmentation could reduce operation time and improve the accuracy of bone augmentation. Three-D printing individualized titanium mesh (3D-PITM) shows good biocompatibility and space-making capacity, which could accurately reconstruct the alveolar bone contour. Thus, 3D-PITM has been gradually applied in the bone augmentation surgery. This paper introduces the application and research progress of 3D-PITM used for complex bone augmentation.
