NEW STUDY ASSESSES EFFECTIVENESS OF 3D PRINTED TITANIUM IMPLANTS ON BONE GROWTH
A group of researchers from Korean hospitals have carried out a retrospective study to verify the effectiveness and safety of patient-specific 3D printed titanium implants on maxillofacial bones.
A total of 16 patients were observed during the study, each undergoing reconstructive surgery for various maxillofacial defects. The patients were fitted with customized titanium implants and received long term follow-ups over the course of numerous months.
Out of the 28 implants fitted, only one failed to unite successfully with the bone while the others showed “satisfactory” outcomes for the treatment of various oral and maxillofacial defects.
