Training activity: 3

Details

Observe analogue planning and manufacture of a custom medical device for craniofacial orthognathic surgical planning and reflect on the process

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Reflect on the process, considering:
  • Registration of anatomical landmarks for analogue planning
  • Principles of pre- and post-operative plan transference
  • Information requirements
  • Surgical occlusal wafer design and manufacture
  • The use of the device in outpatient clinic assessment and the operating theatre
  • Material selection
  • Manufacture methods
  • Manufacture protocols and device risk assessment
  • Preparation for surgery
