  • CBCT offers reduced radiation compared to conventional CT, while stereophotography provides 3D facial imaging with color and texture.
  • Integrated data from CBCT and stereophotography enable accurate diagnosis, virtual surgical planning, and simulation.
  • Intraoperative navigation facilitates precise execution of pre-planned surgical treatments.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computer-aided maxillofacial surgery demonstrates significant potential for clinical application.
    • The transition from research to clinical practice is expected to enhance patient care.
