“…Recently, safe and personalized approaches to craniomaxillofacial reconstruction using 3D printed bio-ceramic scaffolds and osteogenic agents have shown significant advancements. 3D printing allows clinicians and scientists to construct individualized, patient-specific bone substitutes (Bauermeister, Zuriarrain, & Newman, 2016). In order to regenerate bone, these constructs must be osseoconductive (guide directional bone formation/ingrowth on a surface), osteogenic, mechanically stable, and facilitate vascular in-growth and stem cell recruitment/differentiation (Kim et al, 2017).…”

Craniomaxillofacial congenital anomalies comprise approximately one third of all congenital birth defects and include deformities such as alveolar clefts, craniosynostosis, and microtia. Current surgical treatments commonly require the use of autogenous graft material which are difficult to shape, limited in supply, associated with donor site morbidity and cannot grow with a maturing skeleton. Our group has demonstrated that 3D printed bio-ceramic scaffolds can generate vascularized bone within large, critical-sized defects (defects too large to heal spontaneously) of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton. Furthermore, these scaffolds are also able to function as a delivery vehicle for a new osteogenic agent with a well-established safety profile. The same 3D printers and imaging software platforms have been leveraged by our team to create sterilizable patient-specific intraoperative models for craniofacial reconstruction. For microtia repair, the current standard of care surgical guide is a two-dimensional drawing taken from the contralateral ear. Our laboratory has used 3D printers and open source software platforms to design personalized microtia surgical models. In this review, we report on the advancements in tissue engineering principles, digital imaging software platforms and 3D printing that have culminated in the application of this technology to repair large bone defects in skeletally immature transitional models and provide in-house manufactured, sterilizable patient-specific models for craniofacial reconstruction.

“…Three‐dimensional printing, also known as rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing, or solid‐freeform technology, is a precise computer‐directed process whereby models are fabricated via successive layering of material . Three‐dimensional printing has been applied in industrial design since the 1980s and, due to advances in the technology, has been adopted by the medical field in the last decade .…”

“…Three‐dimensional printing has been applied in industrial design since the 1980s and, due to advances in the technology, has been adopted by the medical field in the last decade . In contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, printed items can be constructed cost efficiently without the need for mass production, allowing the production of individual products . Furthermore, 3D printing more readily permits creation of complicated geometries that may otherwise be impossible to achieve through traditional subtractive processes.…”

Objective: To describe the application of 3-dimensional (3D) printing in advanced oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) and to discuss the benefits of this modality in surgical planning, student and resident training, and client education.Study design: Retrospective case series.Animals: Client-owned dogs (n 5 28) and cats (n 5 4) with 3D printing models of the skulls. Methods:The medical records of 32 cases with 3D printing prior to major OMFS were reviewed.Results: Indications for 3D printing included preoperative planning for mandibular reconstruction after mandibulectomy (n 5 12 dogs) or defect nonunion fracture (n 5 6 dogs, 2 cats), mapping of ostectomy location for temporomandibular joint ankylosis or pseudoankylosis (n 5 4 dogs), assessment of palatal defects (n 5 2 dogs, 1 cat), improved understanding of complex anatomy in cases of neoplasia located in challenging locations (n 5 2 dogs, 1 cat), and in cases of altered anatomy secondary to trauma (n 5 2 dogs). Conclusion:In the authors' experience, 3D printed models serve as excellent tools for OMFS planning and resident training. Furthermore, 3D printed models are a valuable resource to improve clients' understanding of the pet's disorder and the recommended treatment.Clinical relevance: Three-dimensional printed models should be considered viable tools for surgical planning, resident training, and client education in candidates for complex OMFS.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is cited as "a novel, fascinating, future builder technology" in many papers and articles. Use of this technology in the field of medicine and especially oral and maxillofacial surgery is expanding. The type of manufacturing systems, materials, cost-effectiveness, and also bio-printing, with studies from around the world today, make this field a "hot-topic" in reconstructive and regenerative surgery. This chapter evaluates the latest updates and scientific uses of 3D printing.
