“…Recent research has indicated that the Bellus3D application compared well with more expensive devices for face scanning in terms of accuracy [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Although the Bellus3D application has been made unavailable for download since 1 December 2021, several other systems are currently available for 3D face scanning [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ].…”

3D Printed Customized Facemask for Maxillary Protraction in the Early Treatment of a Class III Malocclusion: Proof-of-Concept Clinical Case

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In order to improve fit and comfort, a maxillary protraction facemask customized to the patient’s anatomy was produced by means of 3D face scanning, digital design and additive manufacturing. An 8-year-old patient in need of early treatment for the Class III malocclusion received a rapid palatal expander and a Petit-type facemask, whose components were digitally designed on a 3D scan of the patient’s face. For face scanning, the iPad Pro 2018 tablet (Apple, Cupertino, CA, USA) with the Bellus3D DentalPro application (Bellus3D, Campbell, CA, USA) was used. Facemask components were modelled with 3D Blender software. The rests were 3D printed in BioMed Clear biocompatible resin (Formlabs, Somerville, MA, USA), and the bar in stainless steel. For greater comfort, the internal surface of the rests was lined with a polymer gel pad (Silipos, Niagara Falls, NY, USA). The manufacturing procedure of the customized facemask is patented. The patient wore the facemask at night for a period of 9 months. The patient’s experience was evaluated with a questionnaire at 1 week, 3, 6, and 10 months of treatment. The customized facemask was well accepted by the patient and obtained the expected treatment outcome. Furthermore, 3D face scanning, 3D modelling and 3D printing allow for the manufacturing of customized facemasks with improved fit and comfort, favoring patient compliance and treatment success.

“…Furthermore, this literature mentions the need for future studies to evaluate different types of photogrammetric systems and implant angles, connections, and volumes. However, in the study by Ortensi et al [ 226 ] it was found that the height and width data of the teeth were accurate in the scans obtained by the 3dmd system, but the mesial-distal dimension imaging results of the teeth were prone to distortion.…”

Background Three-dimensional(3D) reconstruction technology is a method of transforming real goals into mathematical models consistent with computer logic expressions and has been widely used in dentistry, but the lack of review and summary leads to confusion and misinterpretation of information. The purpose of this review is to provide the first comprehensive link and scientific analysis of 3D reconstruction technology and dentistry to bridge the information bias between these two disciplines. Methods The IEEE Xplore and PubMed databases were used for rigorous searches based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, supplemented by Google Academic as a complementary tool to retrieve all literature up to February 2023. We conducted a narrative review focusing on the empirical findings of the application of 3D reconstruction technology to dentistry. Results We classify the technologies applied to dentistry according to their principles and summarize the different characteristics of each category, as well as the different application scenarios determined by these characteristics of each technique. In addition, we indicate their development prospects and worthy research directions in the field of dentistry, from individual techniques to the overall discipline of 3D reconstruction technology, respectively. Conclusions Researchers and clinicians should make different decisions on the choice of 3D reconstruction technology based on different objectives. The main trend in the future development of 3D reconstruction technology is the joint application of technology.

“…Intra-oral impressions: an intra-oral scanner (IOS) (Trios3 v1.4.7.5, 3Shape; Copenhagen, Denmark) was used to produce a full-arch digital model of the patient's upper and lower arches [19]; • Extra-oral photographs were taken according to the technique required by the DSS (Digital Smile System, Just-Digital; Bologna, Italy) software protocol (Figure 5) [20][21][22];…”

“…We then overlaid this digital design onto the patient's smile picture to assess teeth exposure and communicate the final result clearly. After the patient approved the aesthetics and the treatment plan, we proceeded to produce a prototype [22]. The prototype was produced with a 3D printer featuring SLA 3D printing technology (Asiga MAX, Asiga; Sydney, NSW, Australia) employing PMMA resin.…”

Today, older adults are routinely classified into different categories based on their degrees of independence. However, due to the extreme heterogeneity of this group, and the fact that ageing is a progressive process, older adults may require customized prosthetic treatment. Older people, during ageing, may quickly pass into a frail condition, with loss of independence and of the manual skills necessary for proper hygiene maintenance. With this in mind, complete arch rehabilitations can make an important contribution to a patient’s quality of life. New treatment strategies are needed which take into account the priorities of ageing. The aim of this case report is to show an adaptable prosthetic treatment protocol that is useful for older adults. This protocol provides individual satisfaction and also aids forecasting of the patient’s future functional and maintenance needs.
