Dimensional Printing

The three-dimensional printing has been used since very long ago in the field of medicine as well as in dentistry. The evolution of 3-dimensional imaging and modelling in dentistry is progressing towards a more efficient and cost-effective workflow using state-of-the-art technology. The practicability of this technique is expanding in several dental fields such as prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthesis, and production of surgical guides or physical models in dental implant treatment. The key of success in this technique depends on the usage of various materials such as, metal, resin, plastic etc. which is most commonly used in dentistry. With introduction of this recent advanced technology, it is used in various surgical procedures such as ridge augmentation, sinus lift and guided implant surgery, implant fixtures, preparation of customized scaffold with or without stem cell therapy, education models as well as in drug delivery technology. The 3-dimensional printing technology is becoming more economical technique and able to produce replica of dental models with a high resolution and accuracy.

Additive manufacturing technology or 3-dimensional printing has been used since ages in various fields including medical. Their addition to dentistry is recent and has tried to revolutionize the field. It is being used in various fields of dentistry like endodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery and recently in periodontics and Implantology. With introduction of recent “layer-by-layer” additive technology, their use in periodontal field has changed its treatment planning. It is use in preparation of customized scaffold with or without stem cell therapy, ridge augmentation, sinus lift and guided implant surgery, implant fixtures, education models, drug technology and many more. This review has tried to explain the various applications of the additive manufacturing in the field of periodontics with recent evidences. This paper highlights the role of 3-dimensional printing which can change the future of periodontal management.

Surgical Guides

Additive manufacturing or 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology has an incredulous ability to create complex constructs with high exactitude. Surgical guides printed using this technology allows the transfer of the virtual surgical plan to the operating table, optimizing aesthetic outcomes, and functional rehabilitation. A vast variety of materials are currently being used in medical 3D printing, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The guides fabricated with titanium have high strength, excellent biocompatibility, and are sterilizable but take time to print and are expensive. We have thus followed a hybrid approach to fabricate an inexpensive surgical guide using metal where the advantage of 3D printing technology has been combined with the routinely followed investment casting procedure to fabricate guides using nickel–chromium, which has all the advantages of a metal and is cost-effective.

Background: The emerging Three-dimensional (3D) modelling improves intraoperative visualization, management, and analysis of available imaging data, the 3D form of available image, provides the surgeon with a better comprehension of the geometry, size, and exact relationship between target and normal tissue. The role of 3D modelling in orthopedic pelvic and hip surgical planning is brought to focus.Methods: The Medline database was searched using the keywords 3D printing, three dimensional printing, 3 dimensional printing and the results were screened for pelvis and hip surgery related full text articles. The duplicates and non-related articles were removed.Results: The articles were used to build a review with focus on Acetabulum, Pelvis, Hip and sacrum. We found that the role of 3D printing is non-negligible. The advances made with the help of 3D printing are wonderful and promising. The use of 3D saw its application in many fields. But the orthopedic surgery to our observance has benefitted the most till now.Conclusions: With the advances in the technology it is needed to make the 3D modelling easier, quicker, accurate, cost effective and reliable to help implement its deeper use in orthopedics. The authors believe that the 3D printing is an enormous help for the orthopedic surgeons which will only lead to positive outcomes.

AbstractAnalysis of pre- and postoperative casts is essential in evaluating the efficacy of hydroxylapatite implant procedures for denture support. Computergraphics have been used to quantitate the changes in anatomic contour of occlusal surfaces of teeth and in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with craniofacial malformations. They may prove to be a useful adjunct in the planning and execution of preprosthetic oral and maxillofacial surgery for ridge augmentation. Thus computergraphics may be useful in surveying pre- and postaugmentation casts and evaluating clinical outcomes. In addition, computergraphics may also be useful in evaluating the utility of various surgical techniques used to augment ridges. In this study, pre- and postsurgical maxillary and mandibular casts were made from tissue displacing, irreversible hydrocolloid impressions. A comparison of pre- and postsurgical ridge contours, surface areas and volumes were derived from computer digitized two-dimensional tracing of casts sectioned in the frontal plane. This was accomplished using a three-dimensional computergraphics program that reconstructed digitized two-dimensional images into a three-dimensional image which displayed ridge contours, surface areas and volumes. The application of computergraphic technology may also prove useful in quantitating and mapping time-dependent morphological changes in ridges supporting the prostheses. Thus this technique may be useful in monitoring resorption patterns in underlying bone as well as in the revision and compaction of implanted materials.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a valuable imaging technique in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) that can help direct a surgeon’s approach to a variety of conditions. A 3-dimensional analysis of head and neck anatomy allows practitioners to plan appropriately, operate with confidence, and assess results post-operatively. CBCT imaging has clear indications and limitations. CBCT offers the clinician 3-dimensional and multi-planar views for a more accurate diagnosis and treatment without the financial burden and radiation exposure of conventional computed tomography (CT) scans. Furthermore, CBCT overcomes certain limitations of 2-dimensional imaging, such as distortion, magnification, and superimposition. However, CBCT lacks the detailed depiction of soft tissue conditions for evaluation of pathologic conditions, head and neck infections, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc evaluation. This review evaluates the evidence-based research supporting the application of CBCT in the various fields of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including dentoalveolar surgery, dental implants, TMJ, orthognathic surgery, trauma, and pathology, and will assess the value of CBCT in pre-operative assessment, surgical planning, and post-operative analysis when applicable. Additionally, the significant limitations of CBCT and potential areas for future research will be discussed.
