 3D printing and biofabrication technologies are revolutionising medicine by providing low-cost and novel treatments for complex medical conditions such as congenital maxillofacial conditions like microtea, which significantly impacts the emotional and psychological well-being of affected children and their parents. Current treatments include prosthetic ears or surgical methods, but these options are highly dependent on the surgeon's skill and can exacerbate negative psychosocial impacts. Recent advances in 3D scanning, modelling, and printing techniques could significantly benefit the treatment and reconstructive options for children with microtea, leading to improved quality of life.
