Predictability and Accuracy between 3D Virtual Surgical Planning and Actual Outcomes in Orthognathic Surgery| Stephypublishers
Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Introduction: We are living a paradigm shift in orthognathic surgery. Several tools and technological advances are being implemented to help improve surgical experience and to offer better functional and aesthetical results. Virtual surgical planning is a revolutionary tool which helps us design the surgical plan preoperatively and establish a surgical protocol specifically designed for that patient. In this study, our goal is to validate the predictability of virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery, comparing the final results with the virtual plan. Material and methods: We performed an ICP based super imposition of 3D models of the virtual planning preoperatively designed and the 3D model of the postoperative CBCT using free software (Slicer) in patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. The results of the super imposition were saved on the postoperative model an...
