3D Printing – A Breakthrough in Jaw Cancer Treatment

Professor Shlomo Calderon

Surgeon, specialist in maxillofacial and dental surgery

Until recently, treating metastases in the jaw area was a significant challenge: surgical operations were rarely performed, lasted 6 hours, and were very complex, while chemotherapy and radiation therapy were not very effective in this case. And now, Israeli doctors have found a solution!

Recently, in several major Israeli clinics, patients with jaw cancer or jaw injuries have been implanted with titanium prostheses for the jaw joint, created using 3D printing.

What are the advantages of the new method?

• The jaw joint replacement surgery lasts only 2 hours.
• The prosthesis fits the patient perfectly and does not alter their appearance, unlike previous prostheses
• Already one day after the surgery, the patient can eat without discomfort – an unprecedented result under the circumstances

The titanium prosthesis is created using high-precision technologies and advanced computer modeling; it does not break or wear out, making it the ideal solution to the problem.

Several such operations have already been successfully performed in Israel.

In the near future, maxillofacial surgeons at Top Ichilov clinic will begin to widely apply this method.
