“…One major cosmetic issue is the lack of an external ear. Because of the complicated structure of the ear, fabricating an auricular prosthesis is a laborious process [ 1 ]. Although autogenous grafts are the best option for treatment, prosthetic replacement is an excellent alternate option for individuals in whom autogenous graft repair is not feasible [ 2 ].…”

The absence of any organ of the facial region causes an asymmetrical appearance. This asymmetrical appearance can cause social dilemmas for the patient. The maxillofacial technician, the prosthodontist, and the patient must work closely together to fabricate an epithesis. On the implants, a superstructure is first constructed. Most of it is made up of rings and a bar that joins the implants. The firm acrylic resin base of the epithesis is equipped with clips that serve as the epithesis's retention mechanism. The actual epithesis is made of silicone rubber. The epithesis has to be shaped and colored with extreme caution. An appropriate substitute is an auricular prosthesis that is implant-retained. Microtia, deformity, malformation, and loss of the external ear, either partially or completely, can result from a variety of inherited genetic conditions. To evaluate the symmetry of both ears, artificial intelligence (AI) software is used. An Instagram lens Gridset by crystalwavesxx was used to correct and verify the bilateral symmetry of the patient. This case report primarily focuses on the fabrication of implant-supported auricular prostheses using AI.

“…The development of new manufacturing technologies that are able to realize a physical product by adding material represented a reference moment for the research and technological progress. Realization of products using Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies has the potential of improving not only the designing process, but also the rapid development of a product in medical domain [1], [2]. For the realization of an implant, the process starts with a 3D model that is obtained by 3D scanning or Computer Tomography (CT), which is afterwards redesigned and prepared accordingly for the AM process, by setting the adequate technological parameters and part orientation within the working platform of the AM equipment [3].…”

Research regarding the design and manufacturing of hand orthosis by using Fused Deposition Modeling technology

The article presents the designing of an orthosis used for immobilization of the hand after a surgical operation or bone fracture. Finite element analysis was used for the shape optimization of the orthosis, in close connection with constrains given by the mechanical resistance of the part and constrains given by the technological parameters used in the AM process. The orthosis was finally manufactured by Fused Deposition Modeling at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, the results could be implemented in the Romanian medical system.
