Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Conventional orthognathic surgery relies on wafer-guided fixation, which has inherent limitations.
  • Virtual surgical planning and 3D printing are advancing oral and maxillofacial procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the limitations of conventional orthognathic surgery.
  • To explore how patient-specific implants (PSI) can overcome these limitations and enhance surgical outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of limitations in traditional orthognathic surgery.
  • Review of the application and benefits of 3D-printed personalized surgical guides and patient-specific implants (PSI).

Main Results:

  • 3D-printed PSI facilitates accurate osteotomies and precise plate fitting.
  • PSI enables a novel waferless approach, diverging from conventional fixation techniques.

Conclusions:

  • Patient-specific implants represent a significant advancement in orthognathic surgery.
  • PSI offers improved accuracy and additional benefits over traditional methods, revolutionizing jaw fixation.
