Osteoma is one of the benign tumor that occurs on the bones all over the body. Mostly the simple excision is known to be enough. However, sometimes we encounter the troublesome situation where the osteoma is located in very challenging area, which results in the recurrence. 26 year female presented with the intractable intracranial osteoma. Given the disease entity of the osteoma, the simple excision would be enough or conservative management. But this osteoma turned out to be huge and recurrent in spite of the endoscopic resections, which causes the facial disappearance accompanied by the orbital vertical dystopia. Moreover, the patient's main concern was the pain. We performed the intracranial resection of the whole lesion and reconstructed the skull base and frontal bone as well as the part of the orbital wall. In order to restore the original bony anatomy, the 3D printing model was used based on the titanium mesh. I report this unusual case of the intractable intracranial huge osteoma. This report may be helpful for the other surgeons to make a decision on their similar cases in the future.

일반 X선 촬영 실습용 팬텀은 방사선학과에 없어서는 안 되는 중요한 교재나 기존의 시판되는 팬텀은 고가의 수입품이기에 다양한 종류의 팬텀을 갖추는 것이 어렵다. 3D 프린팅 기술을 활용해 일반 X선 촬영 실습용 팬텀을 더욱 저렴하고 간편하게 제작해 보고자 한다. CT 영상 데이터를 기반으로 제작한 골격 모형을 FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling) 방식의 3D printer를 이용해 출력한 골격 모형을 일반 X선 촬영 실습용 팬텀으로써 사용해 보고자 한다. 3D slicer 4.7.0 프로그램을 이용해 CT DICOM 영상 데이터를 STL 파일로 변환하고 G-code 변환 과정을 거쳐 3D 프린터로 출력하여 골격 모형을 제작한다. 완성된 팬텀을 X선 촬영, CT 촬영하여 실제 의료 영상, 시판되는 팬텀과 비교해 본 결과 실제 의료영상과 골 밀도 등의 세부적인 차이가 존재하였으나 실습용 팬텀으로써 활용할 수 있다고 판단되었다. 저가화되어 보급된 3D 프린터와 연구용으로 무료 배포된 3D slicer 프로그램을 활용하여 저렴하면서도 일반 X선 촬영 실습에 사용하는 것이 가능한 팬텀을 제작할 수 있었다. 앞으로의 3D 프린팅 기술의 다양화와 연구에 따라 보건 교육, 의료 서비스 등 여러 분야에 적용하는 것이 가능할 것이다.

Background: In daily practice, three-dimensional patient-specific jawbone models (3D models) are a useful tool in surgical planning and simulation, resident training, patient education, and communication between the physicians in charge. The progressive improvements of the hardware and software have made it easy to obtain 3D models. Recently, in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery, there are many reports on the benefits of 3D models. We introduced a desktop 3D printer in our department, and after a prolonged struggle, we successfully constructed an environment for the "in-house" fabrication of the previously outsourced 3D models that were initially outsourced. Through various efforts, it is now possible to supply inexpensive 3D models stably, and thus ensure safety and precision in surgeries. We report the cases in which inexpensive 3D models were used for orthodontic surgical simulation and discuss the surgical outcomes. Review: We explained the specific CT scanning considerations for 3D printing, 3D printing failures, and how to deal with them. We also used 3D models fabricated in our system to determine the contribution to the surgery. Based on the surgical outcomes of the two operators, we compared the operating time and the amount of bleeding for 25 patients who underwent surgery using a 3D model in preoperative simulations and 20 patients without using a 3D model. There was a statistically significant difference in the operating time between the two groups. Conclusions: In this article, we present, with surgical examples, our in-house practice of 3D simulation at low costs, the reality of 3D model fabrication, problems to be resolved, and some future prospects.

Objective: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a recent technological development that may play a significant role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment. It can be used to fabricate skull models or study models, as well as to make replica teeth in autotransplantation or tooth impaction cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of fabrication of replica teeth made by two types of 3D printing technologies. Methods: Fifty extracted molar teeth were selected as samples. They were scanned to generate high-resolution 3D surface model stereolithography files. These files were converted into physical models using two types of 3D printing technologies: Fused deposition modeling (FDM) and PolyJet technology. All replica teeth were scanned and 3D images generated. Computer software compared the replica teeth to the original teeth with linear measurements, volumetric measurements, and mean deviation measurements with best-fit alignment. Paired t-tests were used to statistically analyze the measurements. Results: Most measurements of teeth formed using FDM tended to be slightly smaller, while those of the PolyJet replicas tended to be slightly larger, than those of the extracted teeth. Mean deviation measurements with best-fit alignment of FDM and PolyJet group were 0.047 mm and 0.038 mm, respectively. Although there were statistically significant differences, they were regarded as clinically insignificant. Conclusions: This study confirms that FDM and PolyJet technologies are accurate enough to be usable in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the 3D printed die models and to investigate its clinical applicability. Methods: Stone die models were fabricated from conventional impressions(stone die model; SDM, n=7). 3D virtual models obtained from the digital impressions were manufactured as a 3D printed die models using a 3D printer(3D printed die models;3DM, n=7). Reference model, stone die models and 3D printed die models were scanned with a reference scanner. All dies model dataset were superimposed with the reference model file by the "Best fit alignment" method using 3D analysis software. Statistical analysis was performed using the independent t-test and 2-way ANOVA (α=.05). Results: The RMS value of the 3D printed die model was significantly larger than the RMS value of the stone die model (P<.001). As a result of 2-way ANOVA, significant differences were found between the model group (P<.001) and the part (P<.001), and their interaction effects (P<.001). Conclusion: The 3D printed die model showed lower accuracy than the stone die model. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the performance of 3D printer in order to apply the 3D printed model in prosthodontics.

The study was aimed to develop a torso-type dress form representing body features of the female fashion models in Korea. To fulfill this purpose, 5 female fashion models aged between 20 and 26 having the average body measurements of professional fashion models in Korea were selected and their 3-D whole body scanned data were analysed. The 3-D whole body scanning method enabled to generate a virtual female fashion model within the CAD system by measuring the subjects' body shapes and sizes. In addition, the virtual model's body data led the development of a standard female fashion model dress form for the efficient fashion show preparation. In order to manufacture the real dress form for female fashion models, 3-D printing technology was adopted. The consequent results are as follows: (1) the body measurements (unit: cm) of the developed dress form were: biacromion length, 36.0, bust point to bust point, 16.6, front/back interscye lengths, 32.0/33.0, neck point to breast point, 26.0, neck point to breast point to waist line, 41.5, waist front/back lengths, 34.5/38.5, waist to hip length, 24.0, bust circumference, 85.0, underbust circumference, 75.0, waist circumference, 65.0, hip circumference, 92.0. (2) the body measurements differences between the developed and existing dress forms were highlighted with the body measurements of neck point to breast point and waist to hip length. (3) the body shape features of the developed dress form showed that bust, shoulder blade, shoulder slope, abdomen and back waist line to hip line parts were more realistically manufactured.
