Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Dentofacial Deformity Correction

Background:

  • Orthognathic surgery enhances facial appearance and occlusal function, positively impacting patient self-perception and quality of life.
  • Modern orthognathic surgery necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, involving close collaboration between surgeons and orthodontists throughout treatment.
  • Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning are crucial for achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the fundamental surgical principles of orthognathic surgery.
  • To detail the treatment sequence, from preoperative analysis to surgical execution and complication management.
  • To emphasize the role of virtual computer planning in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient communication.

Main Methods:

  • Preoperative analysis of dentofacial deformities using advanced imaging and virtual planning tools.
  • Surgical execution of the individualized treatment plan.
  • Postoperative assessment of occlusal function and aesthetic results.

Main Results:

  • Virtual computer planning facilitates precise analysis of dentofacial deformities.
  • Collaborative planning between surgeons and orthodontists ensures comprehensive treatment.
  • Effective management of potential complications is integral to successful surgical outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Orthognathic surgery offers significant improvements in patient appearance and occlusal function.
  • Close interdisciplinary collaboration and virtual planning are key to successful orthognathic surgery.
  • Understanding surgical principles and potential complications is essential for safe and effective treatment.
