Comparative StudyComparison of Materials Used for 3D-Printing Temporal Bone Models to Simulate Surgical Dissection.
To identify 3D-printed temporal bone (TB) models that most accurately recreate cortical mastoidectomy for use as a training tool by comparison of different materials and fabrication methods. ⋯ PC, Photo, and FLW models best replicated surgical drilling and anatomy as compared to ABS and FLB models. These prototypes are reliable simulators for surgical training.
