Quality and haptic feedback of three-dimensionally printed models for simulating dental implant surgery. KU Leuven
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: A model offering anatomic replication and haptic feedback similar to that of real bone is essential for hands-on surgical dental implant training. Patient-specific skeletal models can be produced with 3-dimensional (3D) printing, but whether these models can offer optimal haptic feedback for simulating implant surgery is unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of this trial was to compare the haptic feedback of different 3D printed ...
