Abstract
In this paper applications of advanced 3D technologies used for designing a complex personalized bone grafts, frequently used in the field of oral surgery, will be presented. This applications will be presented through several complex cases of designed and manufactured personalized bone grafts, with a unique functional and visual characteristics suited for each patient individually. The first step of this whole process is the designing stage of 3D models of bone grafts using advanced 3D technologies. The next step is the application of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for producing of these personalized bone grafts as a verification stage.
