Abstract
Clinical Abstract Introduction. Osteoblastomas are benign primary bone tumors that rarely arise in the jawbones. Often displaying features that make them difficult to discern from other bone-forming lesions, osteoblastomas may be aggressive in nature, making their expeditious diagnosis and detection crucial to maximize functional and aesthetic outcomes. Although mandibular osteoblastomas are traditionally treated with surgical excision, this paper explores the effectiveness of a computer-assisted approach with use of CBCT scans, virtual planning, and fabrication of custom surgical guides as a means to effectively plan proper resection of the defect. Case Description. This case series presents the diagnostic methods and surgical treatment of mandibular osteoblastomas, including two cases that were thoroughly reviewed with biopsy and histopathological examination by oral and maxillofacial pathologists. This report explores computer-assisted planning with the use of a custom surgical guide to determine its effect on surgical approach. Discussion. The use of advanced imaging techniques and virtual surgical planning in diagnosis and surgical treatment planning has proven to be invaluable in accurately assessing the extent of the tumor and planning for precise surgical excision and reconstruction. The combination of computer-assisted planning along with proper surgical biopsy and histopathology has allowed for meticulous preoperative visualization, accurate planning, and decreased operative time, all leading to a higher rate of surgical success and reduced risk of recurrence. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor for recurrence and to ensure health and function of the affected area. The cases presented demonstrate the efficacy of modern surgical techniques and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in the treatment of osteoblastomas. Keywords: mandibular osteoblastoma, computer-assisted surgical planning, advanced imaging techniques
