Abstract

The aim of the study was to develop a new method to build dental appliances and apply the latest developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology. A three dimensional scanner (3D) was used to scan the mouth. The scans were imported into a Computer Aided Design (CAD) called FreeForm software which is connected to phantom arm to design the sleep apnoea device. The design was developed in this study using a novel Additive Manufacture technology. The developed design was then exported as a STereoLithography (STL) file and transferred to an additive manufacture machine for 3D printing. The resultant design was acceptable and fitted on the dental casts and in the patient mouth. The hinges worked very well. Further studies for Additive Manufacturing materials need to be accomplished.
