A variety of three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques and materials facilitate the creation of customized models that promise to improve surgical procedures and patient outcomes. Three-dimensional-p...
To analyze, in vitro, the dimensional stability over time of 3D-printed surgical guides....
Ten surgical guides, manufactured by digital light processing 3D-printing technology, were scanned immediately after post-processing and then after 5, 10, 15, and 20 days. The corresponding standard t...
MAD of the teeth intaglio surface showed less variation (minimum: 0.002, maximum: 0.014 mm) than that of the mucosa (minimum: 0.026, maximum: 0.074 mm). Axial variations of the sleeves' housings on th...
Within the limitations of the experimental design, postmanufacturing dimensional variations of surgical guides were statistically significant. Although limited, they are an additional source of variab...
Digital technology is one of the major advancements during the past years that changed many aspects of our daily life. Medicine and dentistry were positively affected from the very first years of this...
The three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has remarkable potential as an auxiliary tool for representing anatomical structures, facilitating diagnosis and therapy, and enhancing training and teac...
The women suspected with congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) were enrolled in the study. The diagnose of CUAs were made by 3D-TVS scanning and further confirmed under the hysteroscopy examination. One...
3D printing models of normal uterus, incomplete septate uterus, complete septate uterus, uterus didelphys and unicornuate uterus were produced on ultrasonographic data of 3D-TVS....
Our research and practice made the first try in modeling CUAs successfully based on ultrasonographic data entirely, verifying that it's a feasible way to build 3D printed models of high-quality throug...
Repair and reconstruction of the myopectineal orifice area using meshes is the mainstay of surgical treatment of inguinal hernias. However, the limitations of existing meshes are becoming increasingly...
High-fidelity models are required for technical mastery of bronchoscopic procedures in the fields of anaesthesia, intensive care, surgery and respiratory medicine. Our group has created a three-dimens...
Orthodontic digitalization has progressed steadily. Recently, three-dimensional metal printing has revolutionized the way appliances are designed and manufactured. The process offers several advantage...
Intraoral scanning techniques, and the associated software, have revolutionized model acquisition, analysis, and virtual planning in orthodontics. Three-dimensional printing is the final aspect of thi...
To relate the creation and expert validation (face and content validity) of an affordable three-dimensional (3-D) printed model of temporal bones with chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma (COMC) as...
We performed computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bones of a patient with COMC followed at the University of São Paulo (USP) Hospital with 3-D Slicer to create a 3-D model of the affected bone usi...
Otologists consistently scored the model positively for fidelity, educational value, reactions, and the overall model quality. Nine otologists agreed that the model was a good educational device for s...
Using 3-D printing technology, we created the first anatomically accurate, low-cost, disease-reproducing 3-D model of temporal bones for mastoidectomy training for cholesteatoma....
The functionalities of peptide microstructures and nanostructures can be enhanced by controlling their crystallinity. Gaining control over the crystallinity within the desired structure, however, rema...
