Use of 3D printed model as an aid in surgical removal of dentigerous cyst in the left medio-lateral aspect of mandible associated with an impacted canine – A case report

Dentigerous cyst is the second most common developmental odontogenic affecting 0.91-7.3% of population and always associated with an impacted tooth. They are commonly found lower third molars followed by upper canines, premolars, molars.The current treatment protocol for surgical enucleation or marsupialization extraction Three-dimensional (3D) printing industrial revolution, in which 3D models any object constructed using images obtained via MRI CT. The procedure uses materials like plastic metal, deposited layer to prepare model. In medicine, has been growing from assistance diagnosis applications used widely replacement malfunctioning tissues organs, customization prosthesis, manufacturing implants anatomical planning. This case report highlights effective usage as aid removal dentigerous canine mandibular anterior region.
