The rapid prototyping technology helped to convert the virtual surgical plans into action by the help of fusion deposition techniques. Starch based polymers like PLA (Poly lactic acid) are commonly used in the field of tissue engineering for making scaffolds. In dentistry its use is limited because of lack of precision. We tried to make a 3D printed locator guide for surgical removal of impacted maxillary premolar by using a starch based polymer.

Introduction: In recent years, numerous hospitals have established in-house three-dimensional (3D) printing centers, enabling health-care facilities to leverage the transformative capabilities of additive manufacturing technology on their premises. With this emerging opportunity arises a necessity to undertake a thorough assessment of the manufactured tools employed in clinical practice. The objectives of this article are to describe the pathway of in-house printing and evaluate the accuracy of 3D-printed specific instruments.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a rapidly evolving technology. This study focuses on developing biopolymeric inks tailored for Three-dimensional (3D) printing applications, specifically to produce 3D-printed materials for wound dressing. Humic Acid (HA) was incorporated into the ink formulations due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Improper socket fitting in lower-limb prostheses can lead to significant complications, including pain, skin lesions, and pressure ulcers. Current suspension and socket design practices rely predominantly on visual inspection of the residual limb and patient feedback. Monitoring stress distribution at the residual limb/socket interface offers a more objective approach.

Purpose: The objective of this systematic review is to present a comprehensive summary of existing research on the use of 3D printing in spinal surgery.
Methods: The researchers conducted a thorough search of four digital databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase) to identify relevant studies published between January 1999 and December 2022. The review focused on various aspects, including the types of objects printed, clinical applications, clinical outcomes, time and cost considerations, 3D printing materials, location of 3D printing, and technologies utilized.
Forces Acting on the Foot of the American Alligator () During Pedal Anchoring.

This study was undertaken to explore the forces acting on the pes during pedal anchoring and to discern if pedal anchoring required the activation of the intrinsic pedal musculature. Replica feet equipped with strain gauges were moved over mud substrate, mimicking locomotion and pedal anchoring. Quantification of the substrate tracks demonstrated that they were similar to those made by freely moving , that the locomotor and pedal anchoring tracks were significantly different, and that the composition of the artificial feet significantly altered the tracks.
