Abstract

With the innovation of three-dimensional imaging and printing techniques, computer-aided surgical planning, also known as virtual surgical planning (VSP), has revolutionized orthognathic surgery. Designing and manufacturing patient-specific surgical guides using three-dimensional printing techniques to improve surgical outcomes is now possible. This article presents an overview of VSP in orthognathic surgery and discusses the advantages and accuracy of this technique compared to traditional surgical planning (TSP). A PubMed and Google Scholar search was conducted to find relevant articles published over the past 10 years. The search revealed 2,581 articles, of which 36 full-text articles specifically addressed the topic of this study. The review concludes that VSP in orthognathic surgery provides optimal functional and aesthetic results, enhances patient satisfaction, ensures precise translation of the treatment plan, and facilitates intraoperative manipulation.
