Evaluation of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) versus titanium patient specific plates in the fixation of computer-guided advancement genioplasty.
Aim: Comparison between polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium patient specific plates in the fixation of computer-guided advancement genioplasty. Patients and Methods: This study included fourteen patients indicated for advancement genioplasty. Patients were assigned randomly into one of two equal groups. Group A (Control group) included seven patients who were treated by computer guided advancement genioplasty using patient specific titanium plates and Group B(Study group) involved seven patients who were treated by computer guided advancement genioplasty using patient specific PEEK plates.
