Success Rate of Treatment by Reviewing 4D Printers in Maxillofacial Surgeries

Abstract

Aim or Purpose: Tissue engineering is a process of renewal the damaged bone due to the repairing and healing process. The aim and objective of this study is to rule out which modern techniques will lead us towards precise bone regeneration. Materials and Methods: Four database, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus were searched until April 2021, with the terms of ((((((3D printing) AND (4d printing)) OR (5d printing))) AND (materials)) AND (techniques)) AND (surgery). A total of 20 papers were included in the following study. Results: Tissue grafted implants, allow surgeons to precisely form the defected, traumatized or cancerous sites owing to the treatment of patients in reconstructive surgeries. The precision of bone implants due to recovery of deformity, modified this method, from the range of diagnostics towards ultimate treatment plans, for the affected patients. Moreover, patients reveal less post-operative discomfort and expedited human tissue healing at the orthopaedic and oro-maxillofacial regions. Conclusion: The latest techniques of 3D, 4D and recent 5D applications have shown favorable outcomes in tissue rehabilitation. Based on the current study, these methods can significantly demonstrate higher success rate of bone and tissue implants.
