Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Longitudinal studies in dentofacial deformity treatment have advanced surgical options and treatment selection.
  • Systematic assessment of existing surgical treatments remains limited.
  • Quantifying surgical outcomes is crucial for improving orthognathic surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel framework for quantifying surgical outcomes in orthognathic surgery using localized shape analysis.
  • To validate the SPHARM-PDM (Second-order Power Normalized General Geometric Moment Invariants) framework for craniofacial structures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing CMFapp software for surgical planning and simulation.
  • Employing the SPHARM-PDM framework to measure differences between pre-surgery and simulated post-surgery models.

  • Validating the SPHARM-PDM framework by simulating known 3D surgical changes.

    • Main Results:

    • SPHARM-PDM analysis accurately quantifies surgical displacements compared to known values.
    • Color maps visualize simulated surgical displacements, detailing surface distances and locations of changes.
    • Difference vectors accurately indicate the direction and magnitude of surgical changes.

    Conclusions:

    • SPHARM-PDM-based quantification of surgical outcomes is a feasible and effective method.
    • This approach offers greater flexibility, accuracy, and precision in surgical planning.
    • Enhances operative control, follow-up, and clinical case documentation in orthognathic surgery.
