Although computer-aided design and manufacture techniques have shown some promising applications in the fabrication of crowns, inlays, and maxillofacial and oral surgery, the field of removable prosthodontics has not embraced these technologies so far. This study developed and investigated computer-aided techniques that may eventually enable prosthodontic procedures such as surveying and the production of sacrificial patterns to be performed digitally.A 3-dimensional computer model of a conventional cast from a patient was obtained using an optical surface capture device (a scanner). The shape of a number of components of a removable partial denture framework was modelled on the 3-dimensional scan electronically using computer aided design software. A physical plastic shape of the components was produced using a Rapid Prototyping machine and used as a sacrificial pattern. Techniques to allow digital cast surveying before the production of sacrificial patterns were also developed. The results show that digital dental surveying and machine-produced sacrificial patterns can be accomplished. The study forms a basis for further developments leading to a fully integrated approach to the computer-aided design and fabrication of removable partial denture frameworks.

“…This feature is especially useful where thin bones are present or 3D surface rendering of small blood vessels is required 30 . For example, images were reconstructed from 1.0 mm slices with 0.5 mm increment (50% overlap) to aid the manufacture of titanium implant of the orbit 7 . The 50% overlap had a significant effect on the visualisation of the orbital floor and on the surface quality of the medical model providing very smooth surfaces.…”

“…Medical models are routinely used for diagnosis, communication and pre-surgical planning but also they are increasingly used in the design and manufacture of implants and prosthesis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] , creating surgical guides [10][11][12][13][14][15] , making imaging phantoms and teaching. Clear demonstration of benefits published in case studies and review articles has led to increasing interest in medical modelling [16][17][18] .…”

Radiography, 16 (1), pp. 78 -83.Additional Information:• AbstractThis technical note aims to raise awareness amongst radiographers of the application of Computed Tomography data in the production of models using Rapid Prototyping technologies. It also aims to provide radiographers with recommendations that will assist them in providing three-dimensional Computed Tomography data that can fulfil the requirements of medical modelling. Potential problem areas in data acquisition and transfer are discussed and suggestions are given for methods that aim to avoid these.

“…It has already proven its worth in dental implants, bone screws and prosthetic implants. A rigid, yet malleable material, the physical properties of titanium make it ideal for the reconstruction of large defects requiring structural rigidity and strength (49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56). Another attractive feature of titanium is its ability to osseointegrate (54,55).…”

Orbital fractures are common fractures of the midface. As such, numerous techniques and materials exist for the repair of this region, each with inherent advantages and disadvantages. But does the ideal implant material exist? Should we stop and simply use readily available materials, or should the cycle of need and discovery continue? A comprehensive review of materials used in orbital reconstruction and possible new directions in orbital floor reconstruction are presented.
