Patient Anelia sought the advice of Epworth Freemasons oral
and maxillofacial surgeon Dr George Dimitroulis after having radical cancer
surgery that removed a significant section of her upper jaw and top lip,
approximately two years ago.
Dr Dimitroulis designed a 3D printed jaw part and worked
with prosthodontist Chris Hart to replace the new teeth.
Patience, bravery, determination, and several procedures
since May this year, resulted in a joyous meeting the doctors’ rooms reunion
last week.
Dr
Dimitroulis believes that the possibilities for 3D printing technology are
endless. "If you can think outside the square and utilise the
technology that's available to you then you can do wonders."
