Abstract：
Recent advancements in imaging technologies, particularly stereolithography, have transformed medical and surgical practices, including oral and maxillofacial surgery. Utilizing precise three-dimensional (3D) models crafted from virtual representations, these innovations have revolutionized diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical simulation. In a study conducted at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Sri Ramaswamy Memorial (SRM) Dental College, Chennai, five patients with complex maxillofacial deformities underwent surgical interventions guided by stereolithographic models. Despite challenges such as fabrication time and cost constraints, the integration of 3D models significantly streamlined preoperative planning, reduced operative time, and facilitated precise surgical execution. Customized implants and pre-bent plates, based on model simulations, enabled conservative surgical approaches and optimal fit and function. The integration of stereolithography with computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software represents a significant advancement in enhancing surgical precision and improving patient outcomes in cranio-maxillofacial surgery.
摘要：
成像技术的最新进展，特别是立体光刻，改变了医疗和外科实践，包括口腔颌面外科。利用由虚拟表示制作的精确三维(3D)模型，这些创新彻底改变了诊断，治疗计划,和手术模拟。在口腔颌面外科进行的一项研究中，SriRamaswamyMemorial（SRM）牙科学院，钦奈,5例复杂颌面部畸形患者接受了立体光刻模型指导下的手术干预。尽管存在制造时间和成本限制等挑战，3D模型的整合显著简化了术前计划，减少手术时间，并促进精确的手术执行。定制植入物和预弯曲板，基于模型模拟，实现保守的手术入路和最佳的配合和功能。立体平版印刷术与计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造（CAD/CAM）软件的集成代表了提高手术精度和改善颅颌面手术患者预后的显着进步。
