to undertake long clinical sessions: so the many benefi ts of working on a
virtual patient may become attractive. This research has shown that the
appropriate incorporation of FreeForm ® design and ThermoJet ® manufacture
technique offers time and accuracy benefi ts that ultimately help to
improve patient care. Further research may seek to ensure these technologies
become better adapted and more accessible to the fi eld of maxillofacial
prosthetics and technology.
