Three-Dimensional Printing: A Novel Technology for Use in Oral and Maxillofacial Operations (original) (raw)

3-Dimensional printing in dentistry -A review

IP International Journal of Maxillofacial Imaging, 2020

Advancenced technology in dentistry has helped a lot in the treating the diseases properly. 3D Printing allows the dentist to visualise, record hard and soft tissue significantly with precise measurement and print the models. Use of the CAD/CAM is most advanced one in the dentistry. But it also lack the trainee who knows how to use it. In this article we will show how its is used in various dental treatments.

Usability Of Three-dimensional Printing in Maxillofacial Surgery: A Narrative Review

The Open Dentistry Journal

Purpose: The three-dimensional (3D) printing method is a modern approach in which different custom designs are fabricated with high complexity according to the patient’s need. This narrative review aimed to highlight the materials used in 3D printers for medical use, especially in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Methods: PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar were searched for the relevant studies, and after meeting the inclusion criteria, articles were studied, and focused points were highlighted. Results: s: Synthetic and natural materials used in 3D printing include hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, bicalcium phosphate, apatite–wollastonite glass ceramics, stem cells, and collagen. The most frequent clinical applications include dental implants, maxillofacial trauma, facial cosmetics, orthognathic surgery, maxillofacial oncology, and maxillofacial reconstruction. Anatomical models and surgical instructions were the most often printed objects. The key benefit...

Recent Trends of 3-D Printing in Dentistry-A review

Innovative Publication, 2016

3D printing has been acclaimed as a disruptive technology which will change manufacturing. This technology is used in vari ous fields such as aerospace, defense, art. Recently it has become a subject of great interest in virtual surgical planning. The techn ology has a particular resonance with dentistry. It has become of great importance with advancement in 3D imaging and modellin g technologies such as CBCT, intraoral scanning and CAD CAM in dentistry. Uses of 3D printing include the production of drill guides for dental implants, the production of physical models for prosthodontics, orthodontics and surgery, the manufacture of de ntal, craniomaxillofacial and orthopedic implants and the fabrication of copings and frameworks for implant and dental restoratio ns. This paper reviews the types of 3D printing technologies available and their various applications in dentistry and in maxillofacial surgery.

With the greatest advantage of 3-D printing being customization, it has become an important tool in delivering precise appliances and surgical guides. This article reviews the applications and incorporation of 3-D printing technology and recent advances applicable into dental practice, oral surgery and orthodontics.

The Current Role of Three-Dimensional Printing in Plastic Surgery

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2016

Since the advent of three-dimensional printing in the 1980s, it has become possible to produce physical objects from digital files and create threedimensional objects by adding one layer at a time following a predetermined pattern. Because of the continued development of inexpensive and easy-to-use three-dimensional printers and bioprinting, this technique has gained more momentum over time, especially in the field of medicine. This article reviews the current and possible future application of three-dimensional printing technology within the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery.
