About this Research Topic
The recent integration of three-dimensional virtual simulation and additive manufacturing tools have the potential to revolutionize the field of virtual surgery by enhancing surgical precision and minimizing risks. These technologies allow veterinary surgeons to create detailed 3D models, offering a tangible exploration of lesions and anatomy while facilitating the rehearsal of surgical techniques. This pre-surgical preparation anticipates potential challenges, significantly improving the outcome of actual procedures.
This Research Topic seeks to explore how computer-aided design and manufacturing, along with the implementation of software for oral and dental surgical planning, can be seamlessly incorporated into clinical practice.
The focus is on how these integrations can heighten precision, bolster safety, and reduce the morbidity associated with surgeries. By investigating these innovative practices, the goal is to demonstrate their transformative potential in Veterinary Dentistry and Oromaxillofacial Surgery.
To achieve the set objectives, the papers included in this Research Topic will include various aspects of 3D printing applications aimed at advancing oral health in veterinary patients, focusing particularly on challenging cases. Articles sought include:
• Mini-reviews exploring the current landscape and future prospects
• Case reports detailing specific instances of technology application
• Clinical studies assessing the efficacy and outcomes of 3D printed tools
• Laboratory studies aimed at developing new devices or improving existing ones.
