Advancements in Orthognathic Surgery Techniques and Surgical Planning
摘要
Orthognathic surgery is a core procedure performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons worldwide and has been described as early as 1849. Over the past several decades, this growing field of surgery has undergone multiple advancements in workflow and surgical techniques that have ultimately impacted patient experience and outcomes.
Recent FindingsRecent developments in technology and medical knowledge have allowed for changes to be made in the traditional workflows involved in this meticulous surgical field at multiple steps that focus on improving efficiency, patient communication, and ultimately patient outcomes. These developments include virtual surgical planning, patient specific implants, surgery first approaches, and the integration of artificial intelligence into the workflow.
SummaryAs our understanding of advancements in technology and medicine improve, we anticipate increased incorporation of these recent developments into workflows in orthognathic surgery, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.
