Defect-based decision support for oral and maxillofacial reconstruction
Authors: Sugan Shegar & Keval Shah
The Maxillofacial Reconstruction Planning Interface integrates defect geometry, patient characteristics, and site-specific anatomical factors to generate intelligent, adaptive flap recommendations supported by embedded clinical safeguards and planning advisories.
How to use: You can run recommendations with just the site/mode and a few key modifiers. For best accuracy, include either a defect volume (cm³) or X-Y-Z, and the Z depth for palatal logic. If available, set the vascular/imaging toggles. All inputs auto-save; you can export a JSON audit of the case.
Case basics
Geometry (choose volume and/or X-Y-Z)
If volume is empty, the tool estimates ellipsoid volume V≈0.523×X×Y×Z. If both are present, it uses the typed volume and shows the estimate for reference.
Mandible - Planned bony resection
Extent of bony resection planned; drives continuity vs replacement pathway.
Maxilla / Palate - Defect class
Anatomical classification of the resultant defect; determines separation, support, and implant strategy.
