Abstract
Appropriate case selection, meticulous planning, and execution are essential to the
success of surgery-first orthognathic approach (SFOA). Some of the drawbacks associated
with the traditional method of SFOA planning include; inaccurate bite registrations,
along with tedious laboratory procedures to generate bite-wafer for transitional occlusion.
These limitations can be addressed with the rise of contemporary new-age digital orthodontics
encompassing a wide spectrum of technologies, such as, intra-oral scanners, prediction
and designing software, 3D printers, and artificial intelligence (AI) guided navigation
systems. These technologies have shown immense promise and have been extensively used
in surgical planning in recent times. It is the need of the hour to generate evidence-based
outcomes from high quality randomised control trials (RCTs) and standard core outcomes
(COS) for digital planning in SFOA to rise higher in the evidence pyramid ladder.
The current paper elaborates, in detail, on the various 3D technologies available
and their modes of implementation for SFOA cases.
