Abstract

The goals of dentofacial deformity correction are to achieve a healthy, functional, and harmonious occlusion balanced facial form without airway compromise. When orthognathic surgery is involved, it is essential that there is meticulous coordination between the orthodontist and the surgeon during all phases of treatment. Crucial to this process is thorough database acquisition—namely, history, examination, and relevant ancillary tests.

Continued development of digital technology in dentistry and medicine has brought about rapid changes in digital database acquisition. In addition, the processing of such digital data in the form of analysis, planning, and computer-aided design and manufacturing has profoundly impacted orthognathic surgery. However, it is important to recognize that despite the development of technology and greater utilization of digital data and planning, the principles of the orthognathic surgical workup remain unchanged. The aim of this chapter is to review the use of digital technology in each phase of orthognathic surgical planning, with an emphasis on the clinical significance, advantages, and limitations of each step.
