The advantages of cranial titanium mesh 3D printing are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Personalized customization: Based on the patient's CT data, the titanium mesh restorations can be accurately fabricated to perfectly match the shape and thickness of the patient's defective skull through 3D reconstruction and 3D printing technology. This personalized customization ensures the accuracy and fit of the restorations, bringing a better restorative experience to the patient.
Shorter surgery time: With 3D printing technology, the titanium mesh restorations can be pre-fabricated and simply fitted during the surgery, greatly reducing the surgery time, easing the patient's pain and minimizing the surgical risk.
Aesthetics and naturalness: The 3D printed titanium mesh prosthesis can highly reproduce the physiological structure of the skull, making it more aesthetically pleasing and natural. In addition, the embedded repair method makes the appearance of the skull smoother after surgery, avoiding the cutting damage that may be caused by the titanium mesh material overlay repair.
Stable chemical properties: Titanium mesh repair is chemically stable, resistant to high temperature, high pressure, and strong resistance to blows, and does not affect all postoperative radiological examinations. It is also well insulated and does not suffer from heat or cold sensitivity, helping to avoid postoperative problems and improve patient comfort.
Better overall cost: Although the "2D mesh + molding fee" may be slightly higher than the 3D mesh fee, the overall cost is better due to the reduction in the amount of titanium staples, anesthesia costs, and surgery time.
