At the 29th International Scientific Congress of TAOMS (Türk Oral ve Maksillofasiyal Cerrahi Derneği – Turkish Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Association), presented a paper entitled “Current 3D Applications in Maxillofacial Surgery Practice”.
Technological developments play a crucial role in the current maxillofacial surgery practice. Thanks to these developments, the accumulation of knowledge regarding 3D design and production techniques, and the increased interest in the topic on behalf of surgeons, we benefit from these methods in many different fields. In this presentation, a case-based evaluation was conducted of state-of-the-art 3D design and production technologies used in the fields of orthognathic surgery, temporomandibular joint surgery, tumour surgery, and implantology. The positive and negative contributions of these methods to our field of work were also presented.
