Article Synopsis
- Face transplant teams are ethically obligated to restore the donor's appearance, and this study compares the effectiveness of three-dimensionally printed masks versus traditional silicone masks in achieving that goal.
- The study utilized advanced imaging and 3D printing technology to create masks for three subjects and assessed their accuracy by comparing digital models of the masks with models of the subjects' faces.
- Results indicated that the 3D-printed masks were significantly more accurate than silicone masks, showing less deviation in measurements, although they took longer to produce and were slightly more expensive.
