A 3D-printed vanperio educative dental model – A review report of its chairside evaluation

Abstract

Background: Patient education and demonstration of osseous defects by teachers and clinicians are difficult even though there are different models made up of metal, plastic, plaster, stone, and acrylic. To overcome such difficulty, 3D printed Vanperio model was printed for multifunctional activity. Aims and Objective: The aim of this article was to provide information on the 3D printed VANPERIO model and its implications in the field of periodontics and general dentistry. Conclusion: Vanperio model proves to be a promising model for teachers, students, and clinicians in the field of periodontics and general dentistry as it helps in patient education, student learning and also for various demonstrations which is not possible to achieve in other available expensive models.

The Role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Periodontology: From 3D Models of Periodontal Defects to 3D-Printed Scaffolds

“…Addressing alveolar bone defects and restoring bone structures in patient treatment remains a challenging aspect of clinical practice in dentistry. Nevertheless, significant strides have been taken in incorporating scaffolding and 3D-printing technologies into oral and maxillofacial surgery, particularly in the context of periodontal and alveolar bone regeneration [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] and in numerous dental applications [38][39][40]. Studies reported in demonstrate successful applications in periodontal and alveolar bone regeneration, with scaffolding technologies, biodegradable constructs, and antibacterial scaffolds showing promising outcomes.…”
