Studies of surgical treatment outcome may be facilitated by using a new superimposition methods which enables the operator to superimpose a custom surface mesh of the first CBCT image onto a second CBCT image of the anterior cranial base. In clinics, application of 3D printing can be largely divided into diagnostic or treatment purposes. Because of its usefulness various application of 3D printing can be considered. Use of 3D-printed rapid prototyped models before oral cancer surgery or orthognathic surgery for treatment planning and simulation has been established to assure more precise and safe surgeries. Individual occlusion could be accurately determined and treated with a unique splint fabricated using 3D printing. Orthodontic appliance also could be manufactured with 3D printing. Orthodontic appliances also could be manufactured with 3D printing. Considering a wide variety of morphologies of the tooth surfaces, appliances with customized surfaces would be
