3D Printing for Jaw Bone Reconstruction – Clinicians have successfully used custom-made 3D printed bone scaffolds, printed on-site at The University of Queensland, to rebuild part of a man’s jawbone. Professor Saso Ivanovski from UQ’s School of Dentistry, who led the clinical trial, said the case demonstrated the safe and effective use of the technology […]
