Functional analysis 3D software used in maxillofacial surgery

Abstract

The purpose of the work is to analyze the available software for planning operations in maxillofacial surgery and surgical dentistry, with an assessment of the capabilities and prospects of domestic programs in the conditions of international sanctions.
Materials and methods.
The study analyzed the functionality of programs for planning operations based on domestic and foreign software products. Systems such as Materialize, Dolphin, 3D Systems, Brainlab, Planmeca, as well as Russian developments Avantis3D, Endoprint, Bonabyte, Medgital Vision and Autoplan were considered. A comparative description of their functionality, advantages and limitations has been made. The possibility of replacing foreign programs with domestic analogues under sanctions was assessed.
Results.
The study showed that the Russian programs Avantis3D, Endoprint and Bonabyte have functionality comparable to their foreign counterparts, which makes them a full-fledged alternative for use in maxillofacial surgery and dentistry. However, bioprinting remains one of the areas where domestic developments are still lagging behind.
Conclusion.
Russian developments can fully replace foreign programs in most clinical cases, which is especially important under sanctions. Further research and development is needed in the field of bioprinting and robotics.
