The integration of three-dimensional (3D) printing and virtual planning in oral and maxillofacial surgery has enhanced precision and individualized patient care is of interest. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate 42 cases of oral and maxillofacial lesions managed with the aid of virtual planning and 3D printed models/guides. Odontogenic cysts were the most common lesions and the mandible was predominantly affected. Use of 3D models reduced operative time, improved resection accuracy and minimized intraoperative complications, with uneventful recovery in most cases. Overall, 3D printing and virtual planning proved to be reliable tools for improving surgical outcomes and clinical efficiency in maxillofacial lesion management.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
Virtual Work
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
