Abstract
We pretend show the possibilities of use and handling of three-dimensional biomedical models (3D) stored in PDF (portable document format). It is used in the maxillofacial region.
Many free and paid programs are available for the creation of 3D models. Currently, the latest versions of the computed tomography (CT) machines software include compatible packages for image creation as well as 3D models.
These documents offer a wide range of application in the health sciences, as they combine the advantages offered by three-dimensional images, with the ease and widespread implementation of the PDF format.
In the healthcare work environment, it offers the possibility of pre-surgical planning, prostheses and treatments personalized to the characteristics of each patient.
All this is further enhanced by the use of PDF, as it is currently a well-known application standard used by society. It offers a multitude of visualization tools for the use of the model; it allows interaction (movement, rotation, zoom...) and handling that facilitate the work.
In addition, these 3D models in PDF are compatible and easily made by 3D printing, being able to obtain reproductions of anatomical parts in great detail, without the need for dissections or biological remains.
