  • Title: Digital model planning and computerized fabrication of orthognathic surgery wafers.
    Author: Cousley RR, Turner MJ.
    Journal: J Orthod; 2014 Mar; 41(1):38-45. PubMed ID: 24235100.
    Abstract:
    Conventional orthognathic wafers are made by a process involving manual movement of stone dental models and acrylic laboratory fabrication. In addition, a facebow record and semi-adjustable articulator system are required for maxillary osteotomy cases. This paper introduces a novel process of producing both intermediate and final orthognathic surgical wafers using a combination of computerized digital model simulation and three-dimensional print fabrication, without the need for either a facebow record or the additional ionizing radiation exposure associated with cone beam computerized tomography.
