Abstract

An autogenous bone block osteotomy in the chin assisted by a robotic system is described. The size of the required bone graft was designed in the robotic system before surgery, and a precise bone block osteotomy was achieved with the assistance of the robotic system in a visualized, safe, and accurate surgical approach.
