Stereolithography models in oral & maxillofacial surgery

Bys: G. L., Georgeno, I, Packiaraj, John, Deepak

Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as rapid prototyping (RP), was first introduced in the 1980s. During the past three decades, enormous changes and developments have been made by scientists modifying its technology, materials, and accuracy. Within the field of craniofacial surgery, 3D surgical models have been used as templates to harvest bone grafts, tailoring bio prosthetic implants, plate bending, cutting guides for osteotomies, and intraoperative oral splints. Use of 3D models and guides has been proven to shorten the operative time and reduce the complications associated with it.
