Abstract
This report describes a technique to develop a three-dimensional printed assembled sleeveless guide system to aid the fiber-post removal in a safe and efficient way. The surface and volume data of the dentition containing the targeted tooth were acquired with optical scanners and cone beam computed tomography. The virtual path of the fiber-post removal was determined and integrated with a guide prototype with a cylindrical passage. The prototype data was split into two separate parts, combined with the matched pin and jack structures to facilitate the assembly. A guide tube was generated based on the axis of the cylindrical passage, split into three units, and combined with the previously processed data with connectors to form the finalized guide system. The adaptor for the head of handpiece was designed to facilitate the guidance. All the finalized data were printed with titanium alloy. The fiber-post of the upper right central incisor was successfully removed with the aid of thi s assembled sleeveless guide system that guides the handpiece rather than the rotary instrument.
