Benefits of 3D printing applications in jaw reconstruction: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Computer-Assisted Preoperative Simulations and 3D Printed Surgical Guides Enable Safe and Less-Invasive Mandibular Segmental Resection: Tailor-Made Mandibular Resection

“…This procedure made it easy to set the safety margins of the disease and to design various types of osteotomies. Many studies have emphasized the advantages of using CAS to save time, ensure accurate results, and obtain aesthetic results, but no study has investigated the benefits of preserving anatomical structures using various types of osteotomies [2,[4][5][6][7]16] Bone volume calculation in three-dimensional images is a commonly used method for the evaluation of surgical results [17]. In this study, the volume and surface of the remaining mandibular bone after mandibular resection were analyzed in conventional resection simulation and tailor-made resection simulation, and the results were statistically significant ( Table 3).…”

“…These three-dimensional (3D) printed surgical guides are used for the resection of the mandible, and to shape the free bone flap [4][5][6]. The advantages of CAS are reduction of the operative time and aesthetic and functional results through anatomical reconstructions [7,8]. Additionally, it has been reported that CAS can more safely and accurately resect the mandibular malignancies with VSP performed using various imaging modalities, such as CT and MRI simultaneously [9].…”

Summary of Knowledge About 3d Printing and Its Use in Dentistry

“…Dále při tisku anatomických modelů, které umožňují předohýbání destiček pro osteosyntézu, při tisku vodicích šablon na vykonání osteotomie, při odběru kosti, umístění šroubů a při tisku personalizovaných implantátů, které jsou přesně uzpůsobeny anatomii pacienta. Z dostupné literatury vyplývá, že použití 3D tisku je spojené s výrazným zkrácením délky operace [55].…”

3D printers in dentistry: a review of additive manufacturing techniques and materials

“…3 This additive system reproduces v ir tual models in physical objects through tomography, magnetic resonance or scanner imaging. [4][5][6][7][8] Additive techniques manufacture objects rapidly and at a low cost, 9,10 reusing residual materials, [8][9][10][11] allowing the construction of complex structures and the customization of parts in a sustainable manner. [12][13][14] 3D printing assists in the planning of prosthetic, orthodontic and surgical procedures 4 ; the making of dental, craniomaxillofacial and orthopedic implants, copings, implant structures, 15 drill guides, among others.…”
