Abstract

This paper describes, through six clinical cases, the results and benefits of applying a comprehensive methodology for the simulation and planning of surgeries related to the restoration of bone structures that have suffered damage caused by various types of pathologies. Trials prior to interventions are performed with the support of 3D-printed test anatomical models. In addition, restorations or bone transformations are supported with implants made to measure for each case, and also with customized cutting guides. Appropriate polymeric materials are used and fused deposition is applied as the main additive manufacturing technique for obtaining the medical devices. The results obtained demonstrate the feasibility of applying such techniques, their advantages, and the possibilities of access to them in Ecuador.
