Three-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as rapid prototyping (RP), was first introduced in the 1980s. During the past three decades, enormous changes and developments have been made by scientists modifying its technology, materials, and accuracy. Within the field of craniofacial surgery, 3D surgical models have been used as templates to harvest bone grafts, tailoring bio prosthetic implants, plate bending, cutting guides for osteotomies, and intraoperative oral splints. Use of 3D models and guides has been proven to shorten the operative time and reduce the complications associated with...

Hemostasis is the process of stopping bleeding during and after surgical procedures. It is critical for maintaining clear visibility, minimizing blood loss, and promoting proper wound healing. Hemostasis can be achieved through mechanical methods, thermal techniques, and chemical or pharmacologic agents. Effective control of bleeding is essential to reduce the risk of complications such as hematoma, infection, and delayed healing, especially in patients with coagulopathies or on anticoagulant therapy.
