Development of patient-tailored surgical guide for the patient with micrognathia by aid of additive manufacturing

Primjena aditivnih tehnologija u medicini sve je veća, no ista je regulirana je nizom pravila i normi. Izrada implantata i kirurških pomagala pomoću tehnologija aditivne proizvodnje iz dana u dan sve više raste. Aditivna proizvodnja omogućuje individualnu proizvodnju bez signifikantnog povećanja troškova i produljenja vremena proizvodnje. Osim za istraživanja i razvoj te za prekliničke analize i ispitivanja poput modela za pripremu kompleksnog operativnog zahvata aditivna tehnologija se primjenjuje i u izradi medicinskih pomagala kao što su implantati, proteze, kirurške vodilice. Također, u posljednjih nekoliko godina ova tehnologija sudjeluje i u proizvodnji bio-tkiva (bio-ispis) U ovom radu opisana je procedura izrade prototipa kirurške vodilice po mjeri pacijenta s mikrognatijom primjenjujući aditivnu proizvodnju te sve njene norme i standarde.The use of additive technologies in medicine is increasing, but it is regulated by a series of rules and norms. The production of implants and surgical aids using additive manufacturing technologies is growing day by day. Additive production enables individual production without significantly increasing costs and prolonging production time. In addition to research and development and for preclinical analyzes and tests such as models for the preparation of a complex surgical procedure, additive technology is also used in the production of medical aids such as implants, prostheses, surgical guides. Also, in the last few years, this technology has been involved in the production of bio-tissue (bio-printing). This paper describes the procedure of making a prototype of a surgical guide made to measure for a patient with micrognathia using additive manufacturing and all its norms and standards
