Abstract:
Hypertelorism is a deformity characterized by an increase in interorbital distance. The treatment can be orbital mobilization, or if the malformation goes along with occlusal alterations, the indicated treatment is a facial bipartition with hemifacial rotation.The intention of the present study was to describe a surgical planning technique in locating the anatomic points and planes on a stereolithographic model of a patient with 0-14 fissure and its surgical application.
