Abstract:
Oral and maxillofacial tumors, due to their complex anatomical structures and vital physiological functions, pose significant risks, not only affecting patients' appearance and function but also potentially endangering their lives. Traditional tumor resection and reconstruction surgeries face challenges such as inadequate precision, long surgical durations, and unsatisfactory postoperative outcomes. In the treatment of oral and maxillofacial tumors, 3D printing technology can be used for preoperative planning, surgical guide plate production, and the design and manufacture of personalized prosthetics, providing new solutions for functional reconstruction after tumor resection. This article reviews the progress of 3D printing technology in the medical field and explores its potential value in the resection and reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial tumors, aiming to provide references for clinical practice and promote the further application and development of this technology in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
