Abstract
This report describes the design and printing of personalized nasal stents for cleft lip using 3-dimensional (3D) technology. We used silicone rubber to make the impressions, a 3D laser scanner to obtain 3D data, and Dental SG resin cartridges as printing material. We printed the personalized nasal stents using a photosensitive resin printer. We placed the stents in patients after cleft lip surgery. They enabled personalized adjustment and good anastomosis, with a low probability of slipping from the nasal cavity. With this technique, we can provide good nasal support for patients with cleft lip.
