Digitally Assisted Orthognathic Surgical Planning: Definition, History, and Innovation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Emerging Technologies in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Abstract

Management of dentofacial deformities requires comprehensive preparation and treatment planning. This chapter provides an overview of the recent advances in orthognathic surgery. Despite there is no profound change in orthognathic surgical techniques, orthognathic workup and surgical guides have undergone substantial advances, which improved overall surgical outcomes. This chapter will describe step-by-step the state-of-the-art three-dimensional digital planning orthognathic surgery in detail, starting from image acquisition to splint fabrication. Also, it covers both traditional and contemporary (virtual) surgical prediction planning. Recent advances and innovative technologies in orthognathic surgery will be covered.
