Abstract:
Introduction: Over the years, the popularisation of 3D printing technology created new possibilities for developing customized and cheap prosthetics in a shorter time than time-consuming and expensive conventional methods. With the available software and knowledge, there are limitless possibilities for tailoring every prosthetic exclusively to the patient when keeping the costs reasonably low. Objective: The objective of the study was to research, review and compare data available on PubMed about the use of 3D printing in the development of a prosthetic thumb.

Prosthetics have come a long way since their inception, and recent advancements in materials science have enabled the development of prosthetic devices with improved functionality and comfort. One promising area of research is the use of auxetic metamaterials in prosthetics.

This unique property allows for the creation of prosthetic devices that can better conform to the contours of the human body and provide a more natural feel. In

Abstract:
A prosthesis is a medical tool used to replace a missing body part. They are designed to restore both functionality and form to the patient user. There has been a rich history in the field or prosthetics extending back centuries. However, recent advancements have led to the development of more sophisticated and innovative prosthetic technology, such as the brain controlled myoelectric prosthetic limb. While current prosthesis options such as the passive prosthetic and body-powered prosthetic have their respective limitations, the myoelectric prosthetic limb offers an unheralded level of functi

As a result of synthesizing the advice of experts in facial prosthetics, customized prosthetics for special cosmetics, and medical device manufacturing and sales experts, work competencies that require '3D printing based on digital work methods' are required. It was confirmed that 'prosthesis production, 3D scanning and modeling, and 3D printing' skills are required for work competency. In order to develop a more realistic aesthetic part, more attention and research are being made on the production of implants, and prosthetic manufacturers are developing materials that can extend the durabilit

Abstract:
Prosthetics and orthotics research, studies, and technologies have been evolving through the years. According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, it is estimated that, globally, 35–40 million people require prosthetics and orthotics usage in daily life. Prosthetics and orthotics demand is increasing due to certain factors. One of the factors is vascular-related disease, which leads to amputation. Prosthetic usage can increase an amputee’s quality of life. Therefore, studies of the ergonomic design of prosthetics are important. The ergonomic factor in design delivers prosthetic products th

Abstract:
The World Health Organization estimates that 5 to 15% of amputees in any given population have access to a prosthesis. This figure is likely to worsen as the amputee population is expected to double by 2050, straining the limited capacity of prosthetics services. Without proper and timely prosthetic interventions, amputees with major lower-limb loss experience adverse mobility outcomes, including the loss of independence, lowered quality of life, and decreased life expectancy. Presently, the use of digital technology in prosthetics (e.g., 3D imaging, digital processing, and 3D printed sockets)

Repeated prosthetics with complete removable plate dentures, along with primary prosthetics in the clinic of orthopedic dentistry, is one of the pressing problems of modern dentistry. At the same time, this type of prosthetics in many cases turns out to be ineffective or ineffective, although, at first glance, the treatment was carried out with the same prosthetic designs. Therefore, the methodological basis for orthopedic treatment of patients with complete absence of teeth and the study of the masticatory apparatus should be a systematic approach.
