Virtual planning in orthognathic surgey for assimetry treatment: case report

Abstract

Introduction: The facial asymmetry cases are a challenge for the oral maxillofacial treatment due craniomaxillofacial alterations in the three spatial plans (Pitch, Yaw and Roll). These terms are used for orthognathic surgical plan and are essentials for the virtual planning. The application of this technology in this situation has been increasingly employed due to its predictability of outcome in both conventional and challenging cases such as facial asymmetries. Case report: Male, white patient, 30years-old had a main complaining of facial asymmetry. The procedure consisted in virtual planning trough the orthognathic surgery for facial asymmetry correction, providing higher predictability and stability to the treatment. Final considerations: Currently the correction of asymmetries has as golden pattern the virtual planning, because trough he it is possible to do an important correlation between the clinical findings with the virtual planning impressions, with the objective to achieve a good predictability.
