With the rapid progression of additive manufacturing and emergence new 3D printing technologies, accuracy assessment is mostly being performed on isosymmetric test bodies. However, anatomic models can vary. The dimensional root mean square values in terms trueness precision 50 mandible replicas, printed with five common were evaluated. highest was found for selective laser sintering printer (0.11 ± 0.016 mm), followed by a binder jetting (0.14 0.02 fused filament fabrication (0.16 0.009 mm)....
Abstract Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate whether inexpensive 3D models can be suitable train surgical skills dental students or oral and maxillofacial surgery residents. Furthermore, we wanted know which the most common filament materials, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ( ABS ) polylactic acid PLA ), better simulate human bone according surgeons' subjective perceptions. Materials Methods Upper lower jaw were produced with desktop printers, silicon rubber for soft tissue...
Recent advancements in medical imaging, virtual surgical planning (VSP), and three-dimensional (3D) printing have potentially changed how today’s craniomaxillofacial surgeons use patient information for customized treatments. Over the years, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as biomaterial of choice to reconstruct craniofacial defects. With additive manufacturing (AM) systems, prospects point-of-care (POC) 3D PEEK patient-specific implants (PSIs) emerged. Consequently, investigating...
Background and Objectives Despite of the long history medical application, laser ablation bone tissue became successful only recently. Laser cutting is proven to have higher accuracy increase healing compared conventional mechanical cutting. But reason subsequent better not biologically explained yet. In this study we present our experience with an integrated miniaturized system mounted on a surgical lightweight robotic arm. Study Design/Materials Methods An Erbium‐doped Yttrium Aluminium...
Objective: The aim of this study was twofold: to assess psychological functioning, interactional competencies, and sleep patterns in children adolescents with cleft lip palate (CLP), compare these results those from age- gender-matched controls. It hypothesized that participants CLP would exhibit greater difficulties more difficulties, poorer than without CLP. Participants: Thirty-two 34 controls were recruited. Ages ranged 6 16 years. Main Outcome Measures: For psychosocial assessment, the...
In contrast to many techniques currently employed for osteotomy, like saws, drills or modulated ultrasound, lasers offer non-contact and low-vibration bone cutting. Therefore, this report examines the benefits laser osteotomy in oral surgery using two different short-pulsed Er:YAG systems.Er:YAG lasers, either a fiber-optic delivery system an articulated arm system, were used remove impacted teeth 30 patients. 15 patients utilizing was applied cutting bone, with pulse energy of 500 mJ,...
In Brief Objective: To compare the in vitro osteogenic differentiation and vivo ectopic bone forming capacity of human marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) jaw periosteal (JPCs), to identify molecular predictors their capacity. Summary Background Data: JPC could be an appealing alternative BMSC for engineering cell-based osteoinductive grafts because relatively easy access tissue with minimal morbidity. However, extent has not yet been established or compared that BMSC. Methods: BMSCs JPCs from same...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine for the first time feasibility performing complete osteotomy sheep tibia using a computer-guided CO2-laser osteotome, and bone healing under functional loading. Background Data: Bone cutting without aggravating thermal side effects has been demonstrated with scanning osteotomy. Further research is necessary develop clinically usable laser which may allow new types surgical procedures. Materials Methods: parameters tibial osteotomies were...
Abstract Objectives It was the aim of this study to compare feasibility complete osteotomy long bones in sheep using a newly designed variable square pulsed Er:YAG laser and piezoelectric surgery. In addition uneventful bone healing after osteotomy, goal assess possibility cut thick bony structures with both techniques surgically acceptable time frame 2–3 minutes. Material Methods A tibia midshaft performed 24 either an ( n = 12) or device 12). Laser groups were divided two subgroups 6)...
Overtreatment (or unnecessary treatment) is when medical or dental services are provided with a higher volume cost than appropriate. This study aimed to investigate how group of dentists in Switzerland, wealthy country known have high standards healthcare including dentistry, evaluated the meaning treatments from an ethical perspective and, assessed expected frequency different possible behaviors among their peers.A vignette describing situation that susceptible for overtreatment patient was...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease occurring mostly in women of childbearing age. Pregnant with MS are usually excluded from clinical trials; as users the internet, however, they actively engaged threads and forums on social media. Social media provides potential to explore real-world patient experiences concerns about use medicinal products during pregnancy breastfeeding.This study aimed analyze content posts concerning medicines online forums; thus, gain thorough...
Background: In order to overcome the geometrical and physical limitations of conventional rotating piezosurgery instruments used perform bone osteotomies, as well difficulties in translating digital planning operating room, a stand-alone robot-guided laser system has been developed by Advanced Osteotomy Tools, Swiss start-up company. We present our experiences first-in-man use Cold Ablation Robot-guided Laser Osteotome (CARLO®). Methods: The CARLO® device employs 2.94-µm erbium-doped yttrium...
Background and Objectives We report first results of animal trials using an improved laser osteotomy technique. This technique allows effective bone cutting without the usual thermal tissue damage. Study Design/Materials Methods A comparative in vivo study on mandibles seven canines was done with a mechanical saw CO2 based osteotome pulse duration 80 microseconds. The incisions were performed multipass mode PC-controlled galvanic beam scanner assisting water spray. Results complete healing...
