“…Rapid prototyping is a relatively new technique to the medical and veterinary industries, primarily being used to produce bespoke surgical implants (Ciocca et al, ; Frame and Huntley ; Galamatucci et al, ; Kuipers von Lande et al, ). In the first step a stack of cross‐section images is converted into a virtual 3D, which is then used to cut the corresponding physical model from a block of material using laser cutting technology.…”

Three-dimensional (3D) information plays an important part in medical and veterinary education. Appreciating complex 3D spatial relationships requires a strong foundational understanding of anatomy and mental 3D visualization skills. Novel learning resources have been introduced to anatomy training to achieve this. Objective evaluation of their comparative efficacies remains scarce in the literature. This study developed and evaluated the use of a physical model in demonstrating the complex spatial relationships of the equine foot. It was hypothesized that the newly developed physical model would be more effective for students to learn magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) anatomy of the foot than textbooks or computer-based 3D models. Third year veterinary medicine students were randomly assigned to one of three teaching aid groups (physical model; textbooks; 3D computer model). The comparative efficacies of the three teaching aids were assessed through students' abilities to identify anatomical structures on MR images. Overall mean MRI assessment scores were significantly higher in students utilizing the physical model (86.39%) compared with students using textbooks (62.61%) and the 3D computer model (63.68%) (P < 0.001), with no significant difference between the textbook and 3D computer model groups (P = 0.685). Student feedback was also more positive in the physical model group compared with both the textbook and 3D computer model groups. Our results suggest that physical models may hold a significant advantage over alternative learning resources in enhancing visuospatial and 3D understanding of complex anatomical architecture, and that 3D computer models have significant limitations with regards to 3D learning.

“…Performing osteotomy with use of cutting guides has been shown to assist in more accurately designed free flaps, while use of pre-manufactured reconstruction plates versus hand-bent reconstruction plates has been shown to promote true-to-plan reconstructive results. [4],` [9,2] `Additionally, a noted decreased difference in the overall positioning between the native and reconstructed mandibles was found in VSP-CAD/CAM aided reconstructions when comparing standard technique reconstructions. [9] Thus, improved reconstructive accuracy via the reduction of human error can be achieved with pre-manufacturing of the reconstructive plates and implementation of VSP-CAD/CAM more pervasively throughout the reconstructive process.…”

“…[11,13] Preoperative simulation of the maxillo-mandibular relationship facilitates proper alignment of the graft for proper dental occlusion and proper orthognathic relationships. [4,10] As the majority of the planning of this process has occurred pre-operatively, total operating time is also reduced concordantly.…”

“…Oberkiefers nach Resektion bez. der Defektdeckung häufig zufriedenstellende ästhetische und funktionelle Ergebnisse durch eine Anfertigung von individuellen Prothesen und Implantaten erreicht werden können, ist eine Defektdeckung im Unterkiefer in den meisten Fällen nur durch eine mikrovaskuläre Transplantation von autologem Gewebe möglich [5]. Kontinuitätsdefekte des Unterkiefers bedeuten für den Patienten häufig massive Beeinträchtigungen der Nahrungsaufnahme, der Kommunikation und des äußeren Erscheinungsbilds.…”

Zusammenfassung Aufgrund der persistierend hohen Inzidenz von Tumoren im Kopf-Hals-Bereich besteht diesbez?glich ein hoher Bedarf an Therapieoptionen. Trotz Fortschritten in der onkologischen Tumortherapie ist eine ausgedehnte operative Resektion bei diesen Tumoren weiterhin in vielen F?llen unumg?nglich. Anhand eines klinischen Beispiels m?chten wir in diesem Artikel die Fortschritte der operativen Therapie, insbesondere der CAD-/CAM-basierten (CAD/CAM: Computer Aided Design/Manufacturing) plastischen Rekonstruktion, erl?utern.
