Three-dimensional computer-assisted surgical simulation and intraoperative navigation in orthognathic surgery: A literature review

摘要: By incorporating three-dimensional (3D) imaging and computer-aided design manufacturing techniques, 3D computer-assisted technology has been applied widely to provide accurate guidance for assessment treatment planning in clinical practice. This recently used orthognathic surgery improve surgical outcome. The modality will gradually become popular. study reviewed the literature concerning use of techniques including planning, simulation, intraoperative translation virtual surgery, postoperative evaluation. A Medline, PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect search was performed find relevant articles with regard past 10 years. total 460 were revealed, out which 174 publications addressed topic this study. purpose article is present an overview state-of-art methods surgery. From review we can conclude that technique provides benefit optimal functional aesthetic results, patient satisfaction, precise plan, facilitating manipulation.
