Establishment and Development:
The 3D printing Dental Medicine Research Center of Shandong University was born from a shared vision and passion for the basic research and clinical transformation of 3D printing technology in stomatology. Recognizing the need for transforming from traditional dental treatment into digital precision treatment, our founders decided to establish a laboratory dedicated to promote the transformation and application of 3D printing technology in the field of stomatology. The journey of the 3D printing Dental Medicine Research Center of Shandong University began with the demand of personalized treatment in stomatology. With a small but dedicated team, we set out to establish a research laboratory that would be recognized for its excellence and impact. Since its inception, the 3D printing Dental Medicine Research Center of Shandong University has gone through a remarkable journey of growth and development. We have expanded our team to include more than 50 members committed to the research and development of 3D printing in stomatology. Our research has evolved to address the fabrication of complex surgical guide, an accurate reconstruction of the jaw, orbital floor and ears. Additionally, we have forged valuable collaborations and partnerships with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Peking University, and University of Hong Kong to further enhance our research capabilities.
Team Members:
Our team is composed of professor Qingguo Lai, the leading experts in oral and maxillofacial surgery and plastic surgery, professor Bin Zou, the leading experts in 3D printing technology, efficient precision machining technology, robot processing technology. Young and passionate researchers including Hongyu Xing, the doctor of engineering specialized in research on 3D printing of ceramics and polymer materials, as well as Hongyu Zhao, the doctor of medicine major in the research of bone repair and regeneration and other support staffs dedicated to excellence. Additionally, we also engaged professor Zhiyuan Zhang, the member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Kaili Lin, from Shanghai JiaoTong University as an academic advisory board. Together, they work tirelessly to hammer at the 3D ceramic printing-based regeneration and repair of large bone defects and the 3D bioprinting-based organ reconstruction.
Research Areas:
The 3D printing Dental Medicine Research Center of Shandong University specializes in the 3D ceramic printing-based regeneration and repair of large bone defects and the 3D bioprinting-based organ reconstruction.
Research Achievements:
We have made significant contributions in the model surgical assisted accurate reconstruction of craniomaxillofacial as well as the head and neck defects, 3D printed implants heling facial precision plastic surgery and development of HA paste system suitable for SLA-3D printing.
