چکیده

Orthognathic surgery (OGS) is a powerful procedure used to correct several types of facial deformity. By altering the position of maxillary, mandibular, and chin segments after osteotomy, the facial bony structure and soft-tissue envelope can be harmonized, leading to substantial esthetic and functional improvement of facial appearance and dentoalveolar complex. Because of the meticulous nature of the bone segment movements, accurate surgical planning is imperative. OGS planning has been subject to dramatic progress. Previously, surgeons relied on two-dimensional (2D) cephalograms, photographic analysis, articulators, and plaster casts to assess the patient’s bony and soft-tissue situation. However, these methods have numerous drawbacks. 2D methods assume that every patient has a symmetrical face, which is not reflective of reality, and results in diminished planning accuracy due to bony overprojection in the frontal and lateral cephalograms. The rotational movements around the vertical axis (yaw rotation) cannot be determined in these views. In addition, articulator-mounted plaster models do not provide information about possible bony collisions in the ramus area after the movement of the mandible or the need for genioplasty procedures.

Three-dimensional surgical simulation for facial asymmetry: soft tissue-, skeleton-, and occlusion-based planning

Using three-dimensional (3D) computerized simulation systems has enabled us to determine the anticipated position of the maxilla and mandibular proximal and distal segments. The bony segments need to be mobilized according to the planned final position. The concept of 3D surgical planning in orthognathic surgery has evolved continuously. While using 3D simulation for planning the correction of ...

Unilateral intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy based on preoperative three-dimensional simulation surgery in a patient with facial asymmetry

Preoperative surgical simulation in orthognathic surgery has progressed in recent years; the movement of the mandible can be anticipated through three-dimensional (3D) simulation surgery before the actual procedure. In this case report, the mandible was moved to the intended postoperative occlusion through preoperative surgical 3D simulation. Right-side condylar movement change was very slight ...

Use of the surface-based registration function of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing software in medical simulation software for three-dimensional simulation of orthognathic surgery

Three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography image models are helpful in reproducing the maxillofacial area; however, they do not necessarily provide an accurate representation of dental occlusion and the state of the teeth. Recent efforts have focused on improvement of dental imaging by replacement of computed tomography with other detailed digital images. Unfortunately, despite the advantages o...

Reply: Three-Dimensional Surface Imaging in Plastic Surgery: Foundation, Practical Applications, and Beyond.

Three-dimensional surface imaging has gained clinical acceptance in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In contrast to computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging, three-dimensional surface imaging relies on triangulation in stereophotography to measure surface x, y, and z coordinates. This study reviews the past, present, and future directions of three-dimensional topographic imaging in pla...
