Synopsis

The combination of advanced and readily available CBCT imaging and powerful software capable of providing cephalometric analysis and surgical simulation is a rapidly expanding field with a large application potential in orthognathic surgery. Typical applications include the making of three-dimensional virtual models for treatment planning and the production of custom-designed intermediate and final splints. This course will introduce the use of computer-assisted treatment planning in orthognathic surgery eliminating the need for “conventional” model surgery using an articulator and mounted casts. The participants will be given a one-day license of the software and taught the workflow of CASS in orthognathic surgery using their own laptops.

Learning Objectives
  1. Describe the process of CBCT data acquisition and manipulation.
  2. Perform accurate virtual model surgery using CAS software.
  3. Achieve better and more effective surgeon-patient communication.
