Abstract

The present work is a manual that describes the practical aspects of optimizing dental precision by virtual dentoskeletal modeling, use the precises model in virtual planning, and splint design of orthognathic surgery. A single case study is used to demonstrate the stages involved in this approach, which include acquiring CBCT scan data and digital dental models, incorporating this data into developing a virtual dentoskeletal model using superimposition process to replace the unclear teeth. Utilizes virtual assessment and three-dimensional cephalometry to diagnose the maxillofacial deformity of the patient correctly. The results of the diagnosis played a crucial role in formulating a comprehensive plan for dental alignment, which involved osteotomy and correction of bone positions. The final step is to create a personalized splint. The importance of virtual tools is highlighted in our work to optimizing dental precision, diagnose and treat maxillofacial deformities. Present a virtual planning methodology for orthognathic surgeons as well as researchers.
