Synopsis
The use of CT guided 3D virtual technology can be used in almost all areas of clinical Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. The use of this technology has been shown to increase efficiency and leads to better patient outcomes. The areas where this type of technology is emerging most rapidly is in orthognathic, head and neck , and trauma surgery.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
- Describe the use of virtual surgery as well as its implications in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery;
- The mini-lecture will teach how to preplan surgery and produce custom models and cutting guides which make surgical execution more predictable. This will be shown in major reconstructive surgery, orthognathic surgery, and trauma surgery. Based on virtual CT data, surgical plans can be made on a computer and custom stents and guides can be produced by cad/cam technology and brought to the operating room. This takes guess work out of any surgical procedure and allows the surgeon to plan and execute with confidence; and
- The new role of integrated 3D patient analysis with fusion of clinical, radiographic, and model information, virtual planning and virtual splints in a virtual workplace will be illustrated.
