Model of lower alveolar canal
Preoperative simulation
Preoperative simulation inferior alveolar canal model
Facial contouring, which corrects the size of the face, includes zygomatics, mandibular angle shaping
(gill shaving), and malleolus shaping (chin shaving).
In the mandible, there is a canal called the
inferior alveolar canal, which contains important nerves that control taste and other functions. If the
inferior alveolar canal is damaged, it can cause swelling, numbness, and paralysis of the sense of
taste, so it is very important to know its exact location before surgery.
JMC Lab's preoperative simulation model is a transparent model that is completely custom-made for each
patient, and the inferior alveolar canal is colored.
Advantages of Using 3D Printers
in Preoperative Simulation of Alveolar
Canal Models
There are four advantages of using a 3D printer for preoperative simulation.
-
Shorter treatment time
-
Risk mitigation
-
Reducing the burden
on patients -
Improved aesthetics
