Abstract

The multiple-angle bisector Rinn holder is a film holder instrument capable of using paralleling and bisecting angles in oral X-ray radiography. The original film holder is medical equipment that has helped dentists identify and diagnose patients throughout many years by giving high-quality images in oral X-ray radiography. The techniques used in oral X-ray radiography are called the paralleling technique and bisecting angle technique, which require different types of film holders. Nik Amirul Khalid designed a previous prototype to tackle this problem. However, further improvements in the design will enhance the overall experience of using the device by improving its effectiveness. This project utilises the Solid Works software for the design stage and is fabricated using 3D printing. The results from the radiographic images are compared with those of existing instruments. The design created for this project was successfully analysed and improved using CAD Simulation software; hence, it could be implemented for real-world applications and improvement for the future. This effort shall ensure resource efficiency and the overall sustainability with respect to the cradle-to-grave manufacturing process. In addition, this project also managed to show the differences between fabrication using FDM 3-D printing and SLA 3-D printing. The outcome of this project was the effectiveness of the newly designed 00000000multiple-angle bisector Rinn holder compared to the original design.
