Descrição

Knowing the value of biomodeling techniques - associating medical image segmentation with additive manufacturing, as a complimentary diagnose mean in the bone evaluation in complex and sensible anatomical areas (Queijo et al., 2010) it has been possible to support the diagnostic of a 50 years old female patient suffering from periodontitis who has lost an large amount of maxilla bone.
