Intra-oral flaps serve as a valuable solution for small to medium-sized oral cavity defects, yet complications such as flap sagging, tension at suture lines, mastication-related injuries, and patient discomfort remain challenges. The use of intraoral splint to support the flap diminishes these risks and complications. Conventional intraoral impression techniques are fraught with risks, including impression material infiltration and muco-compression, compromising blood supply. To overcome these challenges, the integration of digital impressions and 3D printing offers a novel solution for fabrication of intraoral splint.
口腔内瓣是解决中小型口腔缺损的一种有效方法，但仍存在一些挑战，如瓣下垂、缝线处张力、咀嚼相关损伤和患者不适等并发症。使用口腔内夹板来支撑瓣可降低这些风险和并发症。传统的口腔内印模技术存在诸多风险，包括印模材料渗透和黏膜压迫，会影响血液供应。为克服这些挑战，数字印模和3D打印的结合为口腔内夹板的制作提供了一种新的解决方案。
