3D PRINTED PATIENT-SPECIFIC TMJ ENDOPROSTHESIS

Baltic Implants is a trademark owned by the company Ortho Baltic. Started in 2001 as a producer of custom-made pros-thetic-orthotic devices, in 2012 we have invested in additive manufacturing technology and expanded our made-to-order services to the design and production of patient-specific joints, cranial and spinal implants, bone plating systems, dental & jaw restoration implants and single-use patient-specific surgical guides as well. Ortho Baltic is pioneer in developing of patient-specific implants in Eastern Europe. In manufacturing of custom-made products, we apply different 3D printing...

DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING of patient-specific temporomandibular joint endoprosthesis Each patient's case is individual, and dealing with complexity in today's CMF surgeries, a custom approach is required. Instead of letting surgeons continue to twist and turn trying to solve the problem of "how to make with what we have" we ask them to describe the individual structural and functional properties to be implemented in an implant that is going to be used in treatment of a specific patient in a specific clinical case. When the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is damaged as a result of trauma or illness...

Order specification and safe data transfer Surgeon fills the Order form, prescribes a CT scan for a patient; and transfers DICOM files and filled Order form to Ortho Baltic. In the Order form, surgeon provides information about the patient’s condition, specifies requirements for a patient-specific implant and its accompanying set, which includes patient-specific surgical guides, pre-surgical planning models, screws, and additional reusable surgical instruments (optional). 3D reconstruction of patient anatomical model is performed by medical imaging engineers, who work under the supervision of...
