Let's Talk About That
Figure 4. Digital orthognathic surgery workflow. (a) 3D Systems Corp. specialist conducting a webbased

desired surgical movement information. (c) The final surgical position for which a surgical guide is
created. (d) The surgical guide is digitally rendered as an STL file. (e) Surgical guides manufactured by
a 3D printer (3D Systems Corp., Littleton, CO).
planned movements are emailed to 3D Systems
for processing. We still make die stone models for
the purpose of occlusion setting. I am not quite
ready to delegate that process to a third party. A
web-based planning meeting is then carried out,
with most of these meetings taking about 5 to 10
minutes (Figure 4 a and b). 3D Systems builds the
surgical guides and ships them to us in time for
surgery (Figure 4c-e).
PT: How does the interaction with the orthodontist
change when using this approach?
RR: I think the most important thing is that
surgeons can be much more informative about
what they are planning to do. A case report is
generated from each interactive planning meeting,
and these reports show the surgical plan
very precisely in 3D. The orthodontist can even
join the web-based surgical planning meeting
and be part of the interactive process. The other
thing is that digital, in general, allows the surgeon
and orthodontist to communicate much
more efficiently and effectively. No one has time
for lunch and after-work meetings anymore. For
example, nowadays, the orthodontist's staff can
email the STL file of an intraoral scan. We print
the arches and do a model surgery. We then optically
scan that model surgery and email it back
to the orthodontist, where they can use their
viewing software to examine the setup from any
perspective, as if they are holding the models in
their hands. In fact, with a good set of photos, a
CBCT scan, and STL files of scanned arches, we
can have a telephone or Zoom meeting with an
orthodontist colleague to work out most of the
details of a surgical plan before ever seeing the
patient in office.
