Aim: To develop 3D printing and dentistry methods for building physical models that enable one to simulate a sinus lift surgery. Materials & methods: The Blue Sky Plan software was used to create a digital model from the cone beam computed tomography scan of the subject’s maxilla and to design a surgical guide for sinus augmentation and implant placement. The anatomical model and surgical guide were 3D printed from dental resin. Results: Sinus augmentation and dental implant insertion were carried out on the model as examples of practical skills training for residents in maxillofacial surgery. Conclusion: The 3D-printed models and surgical guides are useful training materials. They could be helpful also in a dental practice for surgical planning and for illustrating the procedure to the patient.

Aim: To determine the usefulness of low-cost 3D-printed pediatric temporal bone models and to define if they could be used as a tool for large-scale surgical training based on their affordability. Materials & methods: Prototypes of a pediatric temporal bone were printed using fused deposition modeling 3D printing technique. The prototypes were drilled. The surgical simulation experience was registered by means of a Likert scale questionnaire. Results: The prototypes adequately simulated a cadaveric temporal bone. The costs associated with production were low compared with other commercial models making it a cost-effective alternative for a temporal bone laboratory. Conclusion: Printed temporal bones created by means of fused deposition modeling are useful for surgical simulation and training in otolaryngology, and it is possible to achieve detailed low-cost models.

3D printing is an additive manufacturing technology, which permits innovative approaches for incorporating antibiotics into 3D printed constructs. Antibiotic-incorporating applications in medicine have included medical implants, prostheses, along with procedural and surgical instruments. 3D-printed antibiotic-impregnated devices offer the advantages of increased surface area for drug distribution, sequential layers of antibiotics produced through layer-by-layer fabrication, and the ability to rapidly fabricate constructs based on patient-specific anatomies. To date, fused deposition modeling has been the main 3D printing method used to incorporate antibiotics, although inkjet and stereolithography techniques have also been described. This review offers a state-of-the-art summary of studies that incorporate antibiotics into 3D-printed constructs and summarizes the rationale, challenges, and future directions for the potential use of this technology in patient care.

Over the last several decades, 3D printing technology, which encompasses many different fabrication techniques, had emerged as a promising tool in many fields of production, including the pharmaceutical industry. Specifically, 3D printing may be advantageous for drug delivery systems, systems aiming to improve the pharmacokinetics of drugs. These advantages include the ease of designing complex shapes, printing of drugs on demand, tailoring dosage to the specific needs of the patient and enhancing the bioavailability of drugs. This paper reviews the most recent advancements in this field, presenting both the abilities and limitations of several promising 3D printing methods.
