3D printing vs. machining: which makes a better jaw plate?
NCT ID NCT07263633
Summary
This study compared two manufacturing methods for custom metal plates used to fix broken jaws. Sixteen patients with fractures in the front part of the lower jaw received plates made either by 3D printing (additive) or by cutting from a block (subtractive). Researchers tested how strong the plates were in the lab and monitored patients' healing, mouth opening, and function after surgery.
