Accuracy of novel custom 3D-printed metal and polymer cutting guides for segmental mandibulectomy in the dog: a cadaveric study
Overall, the study did not demonstrate any difference in accuracy between materials but highlighted differences in performance specific to each material. Thus, surgical guide manufacturing and material choice could be tailored to specific clinical applications, whether strength/durability or flexibility/conformability is favored.
