The application of rapid prototyping in oral and maxillofacial prosthesis(1)——The revertible design of artificial mandible substitutes / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To enable an artificial mandible substitute to be mostly suitable for mandibular reconstructon in individual patients. Methods: Use rapid prototypinlg and surface imitating as the primary technology for individualized design and manufacturing of the artificial mandible substitute. Results: An individualized artificial mandible substitute was designed and prepared. Conclusion: Rapid prototyping is feasible in individualized bone substitute preparation.
