Background: Sculpted physical models and castings of the anatomy of cleft lip and palate
are used for parent, patient, and trainee education of cleft lip and palate conditions. In this …

Introduction Cleft palate is one of the most common congenital anomalies, yet surgical repair
remains challenging and can lead to significant complications in the hands of inexperienced …

The complexity of plastic surgery procedures often requires visualization of the anatomy in
three dimensions and therefore demands the development of new and innovative teaching …

Background: In cleft palate, surgery is necessary for recovering important functions of the
normal palate, such as speech and feeding. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) scanning …

Objective: To explore the potential viability and limitations of 3D printed models of children
with cleft palate deformity. Background: The advantages of 3D printed replicas of normal …

Objective Visualization tools are essential for effective medical education, to aid students
