    This study introduces an optical navigation system for orthognathic surgery planning. It enhances 2-D limitations by providing virtual 3-D predictions for improved facial symmetry and surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Computer-Aided Surgery

    Background:

    • Traditional 2-D cephalometry with dental casts has limitations in assessing facial bone symmetry for orthognathic surgery.
    • Comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation of facial bone conditions, particularly symmetry, remains a challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate an optical navigation system for 3-D virtual model surgery in orthognathic planning.
    • To predict post-surgical facial symmetry and occlusions more accurately.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing an optical navigation system to track dental model movements during virtual model surgery.
    • Demonstrating jawbone repositioning and symmetry evaluation on a computer.
    • Fabricating surgical splints from virtual models for intraoperative use.

    Main Results:

    • The optical navigation system allows for realistic 3-D predictions of post-surgical outcomes.
    • Symmetry status can be quantitatively evaluated in the virtual environment.
    • Virtual planning facilitates the fabrication of accurate surgical splints.

    Conclusions:

    • Optical navigation systems offer a more comprehensive approach to orthognathic surgery planning.
    • This technology aids surgeons in achieving better post-surgical facial harmony and predictable results.
