Training activity information
Details
Explore the use of 3D printing for the provision of surgical occlusal positioning wafers and guides in orthognathic surgery and reflect on the impact this will have on practice
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 impact this will have on practice, considering:
- Primary skeletal pre-orthodontic surgery
- Information needed to undertake 3D planning
- Laboratory based digital technologies (hardware and software) involved in 3D planning and 3D printing
- Biocompatibility of 3D printed occlusal wafers
- Disinfection of 3D printed medical devices
- Manufacture protocols and device risk assessment
