A New Proposal for Three-Dimensional Positioning of the Chin Using a Single Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing Surgical Guide

J Craniofac Surg. 2018 Oct;29(7):1963-1964. doi: 10.1097/SCS.0000000000005013.

Abstract

The workflow digital to aid the treatment of dentofacial deformities is a reality. Associated with the virtual planning, the creation of surgical guides assists the performance of osteotomies and bone positioning, increasing the accuracy of surgical outcomes. This study aims to present a new method of surgical guide for genioplasty based on the selected osteosynthesis plate.
