A review of three-dimensional printing for pharmaceutical applications: quality control, risk assessment and future perspectives

Rapid prototyping (RP) is being widely used in diverse areas, from the building of aesthetic and functional prototypes to the production of tools and moulds for prototypes. Many RP techniques like stereo lithography, laminated object manufacturing, three dimensional printing etc. are commercially available. The implication of these technologies revealed that the time and cost of developing new foundry tools could be greatly reduced. The purpose of the present research paper is to review three dimensional printing for generation of prototype for casting applications.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion of the jawbone characterised by replacement of the normal bone with fibrous tissue. The fibrous tissue shows varying amount of calcified structures resembling bone and/or cementum. The central variant of OF is rare, and shows predilection for mandible among the jawbone. Although it is classified as fibro-osseous lesion, it clinically behaves as a benign tumour and can grow to large size, causing bony swelling and facial asymmetry. This paper reports a case of large central OF of mandible in a 40-year-old male patient. The lesion was treated by segmental resection of mandible. Reconstruction of the surgical defect was done using avascular fibula bone graft. Role of three-dimensional printing of jaw and its benefits in surgical planning and reconstruction are also highlighted.
