“…In the current study, many scholars studied the application of 3D printing technology to assist fracture surgery and achieved good surgical effects, however, none of them studied in groups according to surgeons' experience [18,16,8,5,19]. Our study compared the operation effectiveness of inexperienced and experienced surgeons using 3D printing technology and routine CT images before operations with that of same inexperienced and experienced surgeons only using routine CT scan before operations.…”

Purpose To comparethe effectiveness of the three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the treatment of clavicularfracturebetween experienced and inexperienced orthopedic surgeons. Methods A total of 80 patients with clavicle fracture (from February 2017 to May 2021)were enrolled in our study. Patients were divided randomly into four groups: group A: Patients underwent low-dose CT scan and 3D models were printed before surgeries performed by inexperienced surgeons; group B: Standard-dose CT were taken and 3D models were printed before surgeries performed by experienced surgeons; group C and D: Standard-dose CT were taken in both groups, and the operations were performed differently by inexperienced (group C) and experienced (group D) surgeons. Operation time, blood loss, length of incision and number of intraoperative fluoroscopy were recorded. Results No statistically significant differences were found in age, gender, fracture site and fracture type (P value: 0.23–0.88).Group A showed shorter incision length and less intraoperative fluoroscopy times than group C and D (P value < 0.05). There were no significant differences in blood loss volume, incision length and number of intraoperative time between group A and group B (P value range: 0.11–0.28). The operation time of group A was no longer than that of group C and D (P value range: 0.11 and 0.24). Conclusion The surgical effectiveness of inexperienced surgeons who applied 3D printing technology before clavicular fracture operation were better than those of both inexperienced and experienced surgeons did not use preoperative 3D printing technology.

“…In the current study, many scholars studied the application of 3D printing technology to assist fracture surgery and achieved sound surgical effects. However, none of them studied in groups according to surgeons' experiences [ 5 , 8 , 16 , 18 , 19 ]. Our study compared the operation effectiveness of inexperienced and experienced surgeons using 3D printing technology and routine CT images before operations with the same inexperienced and experienced surgeons only using routine CT scans before operations.…”

This study documented the operation time, blood loss, incision length, and the number of intraoperative fluoroscopies. Results No statistically significant differences were found in age, gender, fracture site, and fracture type (P value: 0.23–0.88). Group A showed shorter incision length and fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy times than groups C and D (P < 0.05).

“…3D-printed appliances such as presurgical distalizers and power are used in orthodontics which provide accurate tooth movement and customized guides for osteotomy that assist in surgical maneuvers that are as close to the 3D planning as possible [47]. Unique maxillofacial and inherently unexpected traumatic injuries can be resolved by utilizing a combination of 3D technologies that are robust, beneficial, time-saving, and reduce the menial work of material molding [48][49][50].…”

Three-dimensional (3D) printing refers to a wide range of additive manufacturing processes that enable the construction of structures and models. It has been rapidly adopted for a variety of surgical applications, including the printing of patient-specific anatomical models, implants and prostheses, external fixators and splints, as well as surgical instrumentation and cutting guides. In comparison to traditional methods, 3Dprinted models and surgical guides offer a deeper understanding of intricate maxillofacial structures and spatial relationships. This review article examines the utilization of 3D printing in orthognathic surgery, particularly in the context of treatment planning. It discusses how 3D printing has revolutionized this sector by providing enhanced visualization, precise surgical planning, reduction in operating time, and improved patient communication. Various databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Medline, were searched with relevant keywords. A total of 410 articles were retrieved, of which 71 were included in this study. This article concludes that the utilization of 3D printing in the treatment planning of orthognathic surgery offers a wide range of advantages, such as increased patient satisfaction and improved functional and aesthetic outcomes.
