A novel 3D-printed simulator for hands-on training in orthognathic surgery
The 3D-printed simulator offers a realistic, cost-effective tool for orthognathic surgery training, despite soft tissue realism limitations. The study anticipates further enhancements in 3D-printing technology to address these aspects and advance future iterations.
