FAQ
Q: What is the use of surgical guide resin?
A: Make a personalized surgical guide: The surgical guide resin can accurately 3D print according to the patient's medical image data to make a personalized surgical guide that matches the actual anatomy of the patient. The guide plate plays a guiding and positioning role in the operation, helps the doctor to perform the operation more accurately, and improves the accuracy and success rate of the operation.
Application in implant surgery: In the dental field, surgical guide resin is often used to make implant surgical guides. These guides ensure the precise placement of implants, such as artificial teeth, avoiding damage to neighboring teeth or tissues, while improving implant stability and success.
Meet the requirements of high strength and stability: The surgical guide resin has high mechanical strength and stability, and can meet the requirements of the surgical guide material. This allows the guide to maintain its shape and position during the operation, and is not easy to deform or shift, ensuring the smooth operation.
Good biocompatibility: The surgical guide resin has good biocompatibility and can be well adapted to the patient's oral or surgical site environment without causing adverse reactions or rejection. This ensures the safety of the procedure and the comfort of the patient.
Easy processing and polishing: The surgical guide resin material is easy to process and polish, and can produce a smooth surface and high precision surgical guide. At the same time, some resin materials also have a clear and transparent color, so that doctors can observe the situation of the surgical site.
Q: What is the resin curing process of 3D printed surgical guide?
A:
- Preparation stage: First, ensure that the working environment is clean and dust-free to avoid dust or other impurities affecting the production quality of the guide plate. At the same time, prepare the required light curing implant guide resin, 3D printer, light source device (such as UV lamp or laser device), and the corresponding mold or printing platform.
- Printing and initial curing: Use a 3D printer to print out the light-cured resin layer by layer. During the printing process, the printer applies the liquid resin to the printing platform and irradiates the resin through a precisely controlled light source device. When the resin is exposed to a specific wavelength of light, it triggers the photoinitiator in it, causing it to undergo a polymerization reaction, so that the resin gradually changes from liquid to solid. This process is carried out layer by layer until the entire guide structure is printed and initially cured.
- Post-curing treatment: there may still be some parts of the guide plate that are not fully cured after initial curing, so post-curing treatment is required. This usually involves exposing the guide to a stronger light source, or using specific curing equipment to ensure that the resin is fully cured. Post-curing treatment can improve the hardness and stability of the guide plate, making it more suitable for surgical use.
- Cleaning and inspection: After curing, the guide plate needs to be cleaned to remove any residue or uncured resin that may be present. The guide plate is then checked to ensure that its shape, size and accuracy meet surgical requirements. This includes checking whether the surface of the guide is flat and whether there are defects such as bubbles or cracks.
Q: Can surgical guide resin be used for functional prototypes?
A:
- 3D printing surgical guide resin is mainly used to make surgical guides with accurate shape and structure to ensure the accuracy and reliability of surgery. It is not designed to be used directly in functional prototypes, but in actual medical procedures.
- Functional prototypes are mainly used to verify the basic functions and operation processes of the product, usually focusing on the interface design, user interaction and data processing of the product. Such prototypes need to have specific mechanical properties, electrical properties, or software capabilities in order to be able to simulate the working state of the actual product.
- Although 3D printing technology itself can be used to make prototypes of various complex shapes and structures, the material properties and application purposes of surgical guide resin make it unsuitable for direct use as a functional prototype. Surgical guide resin focuses on medically relevant properties such as biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and stability, rather than specific functions or properties required for functional prototypes.
Q: What are the advantages of using surgical guide resin in 3D printing?
A:
- High precision and personalized customization: The surgical guide resin can accurately replicate the patient's anatomical structure through 3D printing technology to achieve personalized customization. This high-precision printing ensures the accuracy and reliability of the surgical guide, which helps to improve the accuracy and success rate of the surgery.
- Good biocompatibility: The surgical guide resin has good biocompatibility and can be compatible with human tissue without causing adverse reactions. This makes it an ideal material for making surgical guides that ensure the safety of the procedure and the comfort of the patient.
- High strength and stability: The surgical guide resin has high mechanical strength and stability, and can withstand various forces and pressures during the operation. This ensures that the surgical guide is not susceptible to deformation or displacement during surgery, providing the doctor with reliable guidance.
- Fast production: Compared with traditional production methods, 3D printing technology can significantly reduce the production time of surgical guides. This helps the doctor to obtain the necessary surgical guide in time and improve the efficiency of the operation.
- Design flexibility: 3D printing technology makes the design of surgical guides more flexible and diverse. Doctors can design a surgical guide that meets the individual requirements according to the specific conditions and surgical needs of patients to improve the adaptability and effect of surgery.
- Cost effective: While the initial investment in 3D printing technology and surgical guide resin may be high, in the long term it is potentially cost-effective by enabling fast, precise fabrication, reducing material waste and production cycles.
Q: Is surgical guide resin compatible with all types of 3D printers?
A: Surgical guide resin is an excellent 3D printing material, but it is suitable for all 405nm types of 3D printers. When selecting the right printer and material, adequate evaluation and testing is required to ensure the smooth running of the printing process and the reliability of the guide quality.
