Application of an open position splint integrated with a reference frame and registration markers for mandibular navigation surgery

Application of an open position splint integrated with a reference frame and registration markers for mandibular navigation surgery: Navigation surgery plays an important role in modern craniomaxillofacial surgery, but it is difficult to apply navigation surgery to the mandible, due to its mobility. At present, headbands or headpins are widely used for fixation of the reference frame, and three strategies are generally used for the application of navigation surgery to the mandible. This article reports the application of a novel open position splint integrated with a reference frame and registration markers for mandibular navigation surgery as a fourth strategy.
