  • Title: Three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography-based virtual treatment planning and fabrication of a surgical splint for asymmetric patients: surgery first approach.
    Author: Uribe F, Janakiraman N, Shafer D, Nanda R.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2013 Nov; 144(5):748-58. PubMed ID: 24182591.
    Abstract:
    Virtual 3-dimensional planning in orthognathic surgery allows for a detailed visualization and analysis of skeletal and dental deformities, especially in patients with asymmetries. This approach also eliminates conventional stone model surgery through computer-aided fabrication of surgical stents. This article presents a new approach with 3-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography-based treatment planning for the surgical correction of facial asymmetry in conjunction with the surgery first approach. Good esthetic and occlusal outcomes were obtained for 2 patients after orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment with a short total treatment time.
