Özet

Custom mandibular advancement devices (MADs) can be fabricated by using either conventional processes or computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM). The CAD-CAM technique involves digitizing the dental arches of the patients, designing by using a dental CAD software program, and additive manufacturing with a suitable material. This article describes the steps of the design of a custom MAD by using an open-source nondental CAD software program and of the fabrication with additive manufacturing.
