Abstract

The development of three-dimensional computer-aided surgical workflow has simplified the planning of complex reconstruction cases. It can also be helpful in planning distraction osteogenesis cases. This article examines the evolving role of three-dimensional computer-aided surgical workflow in maxillofacial surgery.

Keywords: Computer-aided design computer-aided manufacturing; planning; reconstruction.
