Abstract
Skeletal evidence dating back to the Mesolithic period is scarce and should be studied under a multidisciplinary perspective. The primary objective of the study was to carefully assess the skeleton of a young woman from this era, named “Avgi,” to compile its bioarchaeological profile, analyze its paleopathology and dental pathology, and deploy a 3D reconstruction and modeling method in order to reveal her face. Both demographic and pathological information were drawn from macroscopically observing the bones, long bone X-rays, skull CT and X-rays, 3D modeling and printing of the skull, and panoramic dental X-rays. The Manchester method was used for the 3D facial reconstruction. On analysis, we determined that Avgi was a female adolescent, aged around 17–19 years at death, and likely suffering from iron deficiency anemia and Class III dental malocclusion. Notably, Harris lines and a hair-on-end pattern were identified in the long bones and skull radiographs, respectively. Various less significant skeletal lesions reflected potential minor pathologies. Our findings suggest that multidisciplinary collaborative approaches should be followed in the modern study of lesser-known past eras. Multiple scientific perspectives, as well as social structures, geographical aspects, settlements, population movements, and social networks should all be taken into account when assessing lifestyle characteristics and paleopathological signs in skeletal remains.

Abstract
A growing number of studies demonstrate the benefits of 3D printing in improving surgical efficiency and subsequently clinical outcomes. However, the number of studies evaluating the accuracy of 3D printing techniques remains scarce. All publications appraising the accuracy of 3D printing between 1950 and 2018 were reviewed using well-established databases, including PubMed, Medline, Web of Science and Embase. An in vivo validation study of our 3D printing technique was undertaken using unprocessed chicken radius bones (Gallus gallus domesticus). Calculating its maximum length, we compared the measurements from computed tomography (CT) scans (CT group), image segmentation (SEG group) and 3D-printed (3DP) models (3DP group). Twenty-eight comparison studies in 19 papers have been identified. Published mean error of CT-based 3D printing techniques were 0.46 mm (1.06%) in stereolithography, 1.05 mm (1.78%) in binder jet technology, 0.72 mm (0.82%) in PolyJet technique, 0.20 mm (0.95%) in fused filament fabrication (FFF) and 0.72 mm (1.25%) in selective laser sintering (SLS). In the current in vivo validation study, mean errors were 0.34 mm (0.86%) in CT group, 1.02 mm (2.51%) in SEG group and 1.16 mm (2.84%) in 3DP group. Our Peninsula 3D printing technique using a FFF 3D printer thus produced accuracy similar to the published studies (1.16 mm, 2.84%). There was a statistically significant difference (P<10-4) between the CT group and the latter SEG and 3DP groups indicating that most of the error is introduced during image segmentation stage.

Accuracy of maxillofacial prototypes fabricated by different 3-dimensional printing technologies using multi-slice and cone-beam computed tomography. Imaging Sci Dent 2021; 51:41-47. [PMID: 33828960 PMCID: PMC8007396 DOI: 10.5624/isd.20200175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2020] [Revised: 10/27/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to compare the accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D) printed models derived from multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems with different fields of view (FOVs). Materials and Methods Five human dry mandibles were used to assess the accuracy of reconstructions of anatomical landmarks, bone defects, and intra-socket dimensions by 3D printers. The measurements were made on dry mandibles using a digital caliper (gold standard). The mandibles then underwent MDCT imaging. In addition, CBCT images were obtained using Cranex 3D and NewTom 3G scanners with 2 different FOVs. The images were transferred to two 3D printers, and the digital light processing (DLP) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) techniques were used to fabricate the 3D models, respectively. The same measurements were also made on the fabricated prototypes. The values measured on the 3D models were compared with the actual values, and the differences were analyzed using the paired t-test. Results The landmarks measured on prototypes fabricated using the FDM and DLP techniques based on all 4 imaging systems showed differences from the gold standard. No significant differences were noted between the FDM and DLP techniques. Conclusion The 3D printers were reliable systems for maxillofacial reconstruction. In this study, scanners with smaller voxels had the highest precision, and the DLP printer showed higher accuracy in reconstructing the maxillofacial landmarks. It seemed that 3D reconstructions of the anterior region were overestimated, while the reconstructions of intra-socket dimensions and implant holes were slightly underestimated.

Abstract
Nowadays, 3D printing technologies are among the rapidly developing technologies applied to manufacture even the most geometrically complex models, however no techniques dominate in the area of craniofacial applications. This study included 12 different anatomical structures of the mandible, which were obtained during the process of reconstructing data from the Siemens Somatom Sensation Open 40 system. The manufacturing process used for the 12 structures involved the use of 8 3D printers and 12 different polymer materials. Verification of the accuracy and radiological density was performed with the CT160Xi Benchtop tomography system. The most accurate results were obtained in the case of models manufactured using the following materials: E-Model (Standard Deviation (SD) = 0.145 mm), FullCure 830 (SD = 0.188 mm), VeroClear (SD = 0.128 mm), Digital ABS-Ivory (SD = 0.117 mm), and E-Partial (SD = 0.129 mm). In the case of radiological density, ABS-M30 was similar to spongious bone, PC-10 was similar to the liver, and Polylactic acid (PLA) and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were similar to the spleen. Acrylic resin materials were able to imitate the pancreas, kidney, brain, and heart. The presented results constitute valuable guidelines that may improve currently used radiological phantoms and may provide support to surgeons in the process of performing more precise treatments within the mandible area.

Abstract
Introduction Three‐dimensional (3D) printed models can be constructed utilising computed tomography (CT) data. This project aimed to determine the effect of changing the slice reconstruction interval (SRI) on the spatial replication accuracy of 3D‐printed anatomical models constructed by fused deposition modelling (FDM). Methods Three bovine vertebrae and an imaging phantom were imaged using a CT scanner. The Queensland State Government’s Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 did not apply as no animals were harmed to carry out scientific activity. The data were reconstructed into SRIs of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1 mm and processed by software before 3D printing. Specimens and printed models were measured with calipers to calculate mean absolute error prior to statistical analysis. Results Mean absolute error from the original models for the 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1 mm 3D‐printed models was 0.592 ± 0.396 mm, 0.598 ± 0.479 mm, 0.712 ± 0.498 mm and 0.933 ± 0.457 mm, respectively. Paired t‐tests (P < 0.05) indicated a statistically significant difference between all original specimens and corresponding 3D‐printed models except the 0.1 mm vertebrae 2 (P = 0.061), 0.3 mm phantom 1 (P = 0.209) and 0.3 mm vertebrae 2 (P = 0.097). Conclusion This study demonstrated that changing the SRI influences the spatial replication accuracy of 3D‐printed models constructed by FDM. Matching the SRI to the primary spatial resolution limiting factor of acquisition slice width or printer capabilities optimises replication accuracy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To validate the accuracy of the mandibular canal region in 3D biomodel produced by using data obtained from Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of cadaveric mandibles. METHODS Six hemi-mandible samples were scanned using the i-CAT CBCT system. The scanned data was transferred to the OsiriX software for measurement protocol and subsequently into Mimics software to fabricate customized cutting jigs and 3D biomodels based on rapid prototyping technology. The hemi-mandibles were segmented into 5 dentoalveolar blocks using the customized jigs. Digital calliper was used to measure six distances surrounding the mandibular canal on each section. The same distances were measured on the corresponding cross-sectional OsiriX images and the 3D biomodels of each dentoalveolar block. RESULTS Statistically no significant difference was found when measurements from OsiriX images and 3D biomodels were compared to the "gold standard" -direct digital calliper measurement of the cadaveric dentoalveolar blocks. Moreover, the mean value difference of the various measurements between the different study components was also minimal. CONCLUSION Various distances surrounding the mandibular canal from 3D biomodels produced from the CBCT scanned data was similar to that of direct digital calliper measurements of the cadaveric specimens.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of linear measurements performed in multiplanar reconstructions (MPR) and sagittal reconstructions (SR) of the left hemiface obtained from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with 3D® Dolphin Imaging software by comparing them with the same measurements made on lateral cephalograms and on dry skulls. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Lateral cephalograms and CBCT (with voxels of 0.25, 0.3 and 0.4 mm) were taken of 10 dry skulls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Linear distances were measured using the software's electronic rulers. Measurements performed on dry skulls using a digital caliper were considered the gold standard. The measurements were performed twice by two evaluators. RESULTS No significant difference was found in the measurements performed with the different imaging modalities and on the dry skulls. The highest mean error was observed in the lateral cephalograms, followed by MPR and SR. CONCLUSIONS Cephalometric measurements performed on multiplanar and sagittal reconstructions from CBCT, with different spatial resolutions, are accurate when compared with the measurements obtained in lateral cephalograms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose is to determine the accuracy of guided implant placement in the orbital, nasal, and auricular region using computer-aided designed stereolithographic skin-supported surgical templates with and without bone fixation pins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preoperatively, cone-beam CT (CBCT) and multiple detector computed tomography (MDCT) scans were acquired from 10 cadaver heads, followed by virtual planning of implants in the orbital margin, auricular region and nasal floor. Surgical skin-supported templates were digitally designed to allow flapless implant placement. Fixation pins were used for stabilization comprising half of all templates in predetermined bone areas. The accuracy of the surgical templates was validated by comparing the achieved implant location to its virtual planned implant position by calculating the linear and angular deviations. RESULTS Surgical templates with the use of bone fixation pins produced statistically significant greater implant deviations as compared to the non-fixated surgical templates. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that significant deviation has to be taken into account when placing cranio-maxillofacial implants using skin-supported surgical templates. Surprisingly, the use of bone-fixated pins worsened the accuracy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the surface of computer-aided design (CAD) models of the maxilla produced using ultra-low MDCT doses combined with filtered backprojection (FBP), adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) and model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) reconstruction techniques with that produced from a standard dose/FBP protocol. METHODS A cadaveric completely edentulous maxilla was imaged using a standard dose protocol (CTDIvol: 29.4 mGy) and FBP, in addition to 5 low dose test protocols (LD1-5) (CTDIvol: 4.19, 2.64, 0.99, 0.53, and 0.29 mGy) reconstructed with FBP, ASIR 50, ASIR 100, and MBIR. A CAD model from each test protocol was superimposed onto the reference model using the 'Best Fit Alignment' function. Differences between the test and reference models were analyzed as maximum and mean deviations, and root-mean-square of the deviations, and color-coded models were obtained which demonstrated the location, magnitude and direction of the deviations. RESULTS Based upon the magnitude, size, and distribution of areas of deviations, CAD models from the following protocols were comparable to the reference model: FBP/LD1; ASIR 50/LD1 and LD2; ASIR 100/LD1, LD2, and LD3; MBIR/LD1. The following protocols demonstrated deviations mostly between 1-2 mm or under 1 mm but over large areas, and so their effect on surgical guide accuracy is questionable: FBP/LD2; MBIR/LD2, LD3, LD4, and LD5. The following protocols demonstrated large deviations over large areas and therefore were not comparable to the reference model: FBP/LD3, LD4, and LD5; ASIR 50/LD3, LD4, and LD5; ASIR 100/LD4, and LD5. CONCLUSIONS When MDCT is used for CAD models of the jaws, dose reductions of 86% may be possible with FBP, 91% with ASIR 50, and 97% with ASIR 100. Analysis of the stability and accuracy of CAD/CAM surgical guides as directly related to the jaws is needed to confirm the results.

Abstract
The present study aimed to assess the accuracy of linear measurements performed with two software packages in multislice (MSCT) and cone beam (CBCT) computed tomography (CT) images. The sample consisted of 10 human mandibles marked standardly 8 times with metallic orthodontic wires. The mandibles underwent both MSCT and CBCT scanning and were measured linearly and digitally with two software packages, namely Studio 3.1® (Anne Solutions®, SP, Brazil) (ST) and Implant Viewer 2.817® (Anne Solutions®, SP, Brazil) (IV). The linear measurements were the mandibular height (MH) and width (MW), and the distance from the alveolar ridge to the mandibular canal (AC). To validate the measurements, the mandibles were sectioned in the marked regions and measured with a digital caliper. Statistically significant differences were not observed between the measurements (MH, MW, and AC) taken digitally with the two software packages from images obtained from the two scanning modalities (MSCT and CBCT) and the measurements taken manually with a digital caliper (p>0.05). MSCT and CBCT images measured digitally with ST and IV software packages resulted in reliable outcomes when compared to measurements obtained manually. Both software and imaging modalities are reliably useful for planning surgical procedure in the dental practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between periodontal morphometric parameters and to develop a biotype classification based on the variables examined with the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two periodontally healthy subjects that underwent a CBCT examination as part of a different diagnostic procedure participated in the study. Measurements were performed on sectional images and included gingival thickness and labial bone plate thickness midbuccally, crown width to crown length ratio, bone crest to the CEJ distance and bone crest to the gingival margin distance midbuccally, and at the approximal aspects of 186 maxillary anterior teeth. RESULTS Gingival thickness at the level of CEJ was positively correlated with labial bone plate thickness and crown form. Crown form was not correlated with labial bone plate thickness. Cluster analysis supported the existence of four periodontal biotypes, "thin," "thick," "average," and "mixed." Labial bone plate thickness was thinner than 1 mm at 70 % of the measured sites. CONCLUSIONS Only 50 % of the teeth belonged to thin or thick biotype. The other 50 % of the teeth belonged to the average cluster or presented mixed characteristics. Assessment of labial bone plate thickness based on periodontal biotype should be made with caution. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Taking into consideration the characteristics of periodontal biotypes enables the clinician to avoid complications in periodontology, prosthetic dentistry, implant dentistry in the esthetic zone, and orthodontics.

Abstract
Mandibular gunshot injuries are esthetically and functionally devastating, causing comminuted fractures and adjacent tissue destruction depending on the weapon gauge, projectile shape, impact kinetic energy, and density of the injured structures. If the mandibular fracture is not adequate or promptly treated, the broken fragments will fail to heal. In case of a treatment delay, progressive bone loss and fracture contracture will require a customized approach, which includes open reduction, removal of fibrous tissue between the bony stumps, and fixation of the fracture with a reconstruction plate and autogenous graft. The authors report the case of a 34-year-old man wounded on the mandible 15 years ago. With the aid of computed tomography and a prototype, a surgical plan was designed including open reduction and internal fixation of the segmental mandibular defect with a reconstruction plate and bone graft harvested from the iliac crest. The postoperative follow-up was uneventful and the 12-month follow up showed a positive aesthetic and functional result.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantitatively compare condylar morphology using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) virtual three-dimensional surface models. STUDY DESIGN The sample consisted of secondary data analyses of CBCT and MSCT scans obtained for clinical purposes from 74 patients treated with condylar resection and prosthetic joint replacement. Three-dimensional surface models of 146 condyles were constructed from each scan modality. Across-subject models were approximated and voxel-based registration was performed between homologous CBCT and MSCT images, making it possible to create average CBCT- and MSCT-based condylar models. SPHARM-PDM software provided matching points on each corresponding model. ShapeAnalysisMANCOVA software assessed statistically significant differences between observers and imaging modalities. One-sample t-tests evaluated the null hypothesis that the mean differences between each CBCT- and MSCT-based model were not clinically significant (<.5 mm). Tests were conducted at a significance level of P < .05. RESULTS ShapeAnalysisMANCOVA showed no statistically significant difference between the average CBCT- and MSCT-based models (P > .68). During pairwise comparison, the mean difference observed was .406 mm (SD, .173). One sample t-test showed that mean differences between each set of paired CBCT- and MSCT-based models were not clinically significant (P = .411). CONCLUSION Three-dimensional surface models constructed from CBCT images are comparable to those derived from MSCT scans and may be considered reliable tools for assessing condylar morphology.

Comparative study of the prevalence of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritic changes in cone beam computed tomograms of patients with or without temporomandibular disorder. Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol 2015; 120:78-85.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the prevalence of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) osteoarthritic changes in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and non-TMD patients. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of CBCT images of the joints of TMD and non-TMD patients was performed. The presence or absence of osteoarthritic changes (condylar erosion, osteophyte, subcortical cyst, or generalized sclerosis) in each TMJ was evaluated. The prevalence within the two study groups were compared by using Chi-square statistics. RESULTS At least one type of osteoarthritic change was present in78.6% of joints in the TMD group and 79.7% in the non-TMD group. No significant difference was found in prevalence of osteoarthritic changes between the TMD and non-TMD groups in the overall study sample or within the subsets of gender and age in the groups. CONCLUSIONS The lack of a significant difference in prevalence of TMJ osteoarthritic changes in TMD and non-TMD patients highlights the equivocal relationship between osseous TMJ morphology and degenerative bone disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION 3-dimensional models (3D) appeared in the medical field 20 years ago. The recent development of consumer 3D printers explains the renewed interest in this technology. We describe the technical and practical modalities of this surgical tool, illustrated by concrete examples. TECHNICAL NOTE The OsiriX(®) software (version 5.8.5, Geneva, Switzerland) was used for 3D surface reconstruction of the area of interest, the generation and export of ".stl" file. The NetFabb(®) software (Basic version 5.1.1, Lupburg, Germany) provided the preparation of ".stl" file. The 3D-printer was an Up plus 2 Easy 120(®) (PP3DP, Beijing Technology Co. TierTime Ltd., Chine). The printer used fused deposition modeling. The softwar Up!(®) allowed the 3d impression as required. RESULTS The first case illustrated the value of 3D printing in the upper (frontal sinus and orbital roof). The second case concerned the preconfiguration of the osteosynthesis material for a complex fracture of the midface through the "mirroring" system. The third case showed the conformation of a prereconstruction for segmental mandibulectomy. DISCUSSION Current 3D-printers are easy to use and represent a promising solution for medical prototyping. The 3D printing will quickly become undeniable because of its advantages: information sharing, simulation, surgical guides, pedagogy.

Abstract
Our study aimed to determine the accuracy of a low-cost, paper-based 3D printer by comparing a dry human mandible to its corresponding three-dimensional (3D) model using a 3D measuring arm. One dry human mandible and its corresponding printed model were evaluated. The model was produced using DICOM data from cone beam computed tomography. The data were imported into Maxilim software, wherein automatic segmentation was performed, and the STL file was saved. These data were subsequently analysed, repaired, cut and prepared for printing with netfabb software. These prepared data were used to create a paper-based model of a mandible with an MCor Matrix 300 printer. Seventy-six anatomical landmarks were chosen and measured 20 times on the mandible and the model using a MicroScribe G2X 3D measuring arm. The distances between all the selected landmarks were measured and compared. Only landmarks with a point inaccuracy less than 30% were used in further analyses. The mean absolute difference for the selected 2016 measurements was 0.36 ± 0.29 mm. The mean relative difference was 1.87 ± 3.14%; however, the measurement length significantly influenced the relative difference. The accuracy of the 3D model printed using the paper-based, low-cost 3D Matrix 300 printer was acceptable. The average error was no greater than that measured with other types of 3D printers. The mean relative difference should not be considered the best way to compare studies. The point inaccuracy methodology proposed in this study may be helpful in future studies concerned with evaluating the accuracy of 3D rapid prototyping models.

A new method to assess the accuracy of a Cone Beam Computed Tomography scanner by using a non-contact reverse engineering technique. J Dent 2014; 42:460-5.

Abstract
AIM Today Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has become an important image technique for dento-maxilla facial applications. In the paper a new method to assess the geometric accuracy of these systems was proposed. It uses a free form benchmark model and a non-contact Reverse Engineering (RE) system. METHOD The test geometry chosen for this study was designed in such a way that it simulated human spongy bone, cortical bone, gingiva and teeth and it composed of removable free form parts. It was acquired with a high-resolution laser scanner (D700 Scanner - 3Shape, Denmark). The reference 3D surface models obtained with the laser scanner was compared with the 3D models that were created from a CBCT system (Scanora 3D - Soderex, Finland) and from a traditional Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) scanner (LightSpeed VCT 64 Slice - General Electric, USA) at different reconstruction settings, using an iterative closest point algorithm (ICP) in Geomagic(®) software. RESULTS The comparison between the different pairs of CAD models clearly shows that there is a good overlap between the models. CONCLUSIONS Although the results obtained in this study could lead to increase the use of CBCT for an increasing number of dental procedures, the publication of the European Commission guidelines represents a baseline on which the clinicians should rely heavily when considering the use of CBCT in their practice. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The results of this research show that the accuracy of CBCT 3D models is comparable to MSCT 3D models.
