With the help of 3D printing, they can develop copies of the area to be operated on\u2014for example, skulls, jaws, and other bones\u2014and thereby design and produce tailored templates for each individual patient. In this way, operating time is reduced and precision is increased for a better outcome.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith 3D printing, we can plan and create a predictable outcome for a surgery. In the past five years, we have not reoperated on a single one of the patients we have operated on in this way. That is a huge breakthrough,\u201d says Johan Bloml\u00f6f, Chief Dental Officer at Aarhus University Hospital.  <\/p>\n<p>A 3D-printed model can also serve as a visual aid when the surgeon needs to explain to the patient what will be operated on and why. In addition, the surgeons use the model to agree on exactly where the incision should be placed. Previously, this decision was only finalised during the operation, but now the specialists\u2014quite literally\u2014draw a shared marker line on the plastic model before sending it back to the virtual laboratory of engineers Joakim Lindhardt and Anders M\u00f8lgaard Jakobsen. The major advantage of working virtually is that it makes it possible to perfect the incision and make changes if it turns out not to be optimal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;307712&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771938222734{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;105822&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;250575&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Lack of aids created frustration<\/h4>\n<p>A typical problem at the hospital in the past was that both plastic surgeons and maxillofacial surgeons experienced difficulties obtaining enough 3D-printed aids to treat all the patients who needed surgery. With a 3D-printed copy of the patient\u2019s mandible, the surgeon can form a very precise picture of how the operation should proceed and even carry out trial surgeries before the actual operation to improve the quality of the outcome. The problem, however, was that these aids had to be ordered from abroad and therefore did not always arrive in time for patients who needed rapid treatment, which was a major source of frustration for the surgeons.  <\/p>\n<p>Aarhus University Hospital therefore hired engineers to help them reach solutions more quickly to the problems the surgeons faced. And after only about a year, they were already implementing their own 3D-printed aids in surgeries. Previously, departments at Aarhus University Hospital had ordered 3D prints from the USA or Belgium, but this was both expensive and time-consuming. A single cutting guide could cost DKK 30,000\u201370,000 and often required a surgeon to spend their free time on the phone to finalise the details. By comparison, it costs approximately DKK 60 to print a jaw at the print centre in Skejby once the printer and engineering salary have been paid.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_right&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204648&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;95534&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;140758&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;184735&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771939257362{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shadow=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;451755&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-solid&#8221; back_color_solid=&#8221;#0903d4&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-column&#8221;][vc_column_text text_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;782351&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-with-check&#8221; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: white !important;\">Results of using 3D technology<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced cost of a cutting guide: from DKK 30,000\u201370,000 to approximately DKK 60 once the printer and engineering salary have been paid <\/li>\n<li>In-house production capability<\/li>\n<li>Better outcomes for patients<\/li>\n<li>Surgeons can work with greater confidence<\/li>\n<li>Shorter operating time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;609024&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;118546&#8243;]The technology can therefore deliver major savings for the healthcare system, as items can be produced in-house, making it independent of external suppliers.
