Purpose: To assess the accuracy of laser-melted patient-specific implants (PSI) with regard to a preoperative virtual treatment plan for genioplasty based on a new analysis method without the use of landmarks.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective evaluation of a cohort of Class II and Class III patients who had undergone virtually planned orthognathic surgery (including genioplasty) was carried out. The preoperative virtual treatment plan and the postoperative outcome were fused to calculate the translational and rotational discrepancies between the 3D planning and the actual surgical outcome.
Results: The accuracy of left/right positioning was 0.25 ± 0.28 mm (p < 0.001), that of anterior/posterior positioning was 0.70 ± 0.64 mm (p < 0.001), and that of up/down-positioning was 0.45 ± 0.38 mm (p < 0.001). The rotational discrepancies were less than 2 deg. The virtually planned and postoperative positions of the chin differed significantly from each other (p < 0.001 for all rotational and translational discrepanices).
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that PSIs can transfer the planned virtual genioplasty into the operation theatre with small but significant deviations. However, since no conclusions can be drawn from the results regarding surgical success in terms of shaping the soft tissue profile as well as the esthetic result, no superiority of PSI over traditional plate osteosynthesis can be demonstrated.

This study aimed to assess the accuracy of the marginal fit of 2 implant-supported overdenture bars fabricated with selective laser melting technology, using polyvinyl siloxane and vinyl siloxane ether impression materials and different impression techniques. Two implants with multi-unit abutments were inserted in a 3D-printed mandibular model and used as a reference model, then duplicated into a stone cast to fabricate custom trays for obtaining impressions with polyvinyl siloxane and vinyl siloxane ether impression materials, using both open and closed-tray techniques. This resulted in a total of 4 groups, each with 8 specimens.

Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing of bone defect models is gaining much attention in the biomedical field as it could significantly facilitate the development of customized implants with a high degree of dimensional accuracy. Due to their satisfactory biocompatibility and minimal stress shielding effect, Ti6Al4V (Ti64) alloys are increasingly preferred in the development of such implants. However, their poor osseointegration abilities and lack of antibacterial properties often cause implant loosening and microbial infections, leading to implant failure.

Porous additively-manufactured structures could have a niche in orthopaedic implants, due to their potential to reduce stiffness (stress-shielding), improve bony ingrowth, and potential to house reservoirs of drug-eluting non-structural biomaterials. Computer aided design and finite element (FE) modelling plays an important role in the design of porous structured biomedical implants; however it is important to validate both their static and fatigue behaviours using experimental testing. This study compared the mechanical behaviors of titanium cylindrical gyroid structures of varying porosities using physical testing of additively manufactured prototypes and FE models.

In industrial manufacturing and research laboratories, precise machining of work materials is crucial to meet the demand for fast assembly and sustainable high-quality production. Precise machining procedures play a vital role in manufacturing compatible parts that meet the production requirements. This study investigates the impact of different parameters on burr formations and slot dimensions during the micro-milling of AISI 316 material.

Proper treatment of the two-wall fractured orbit is still controversial. Specifically, there is no consensus on the issue of the necessity of medial orbital wall repair. With anatomically critical structures at risk during the surgical approach, surgeons' view on the necessity of medial orbital wall repair often is restricted and an aesthetically disturbing enophthalmos is more likely to be accepted.
