Abstract
Patients undergoing #oral and maxillofacial surgery require recovery
from #dysfunction related to occlusion, eating/swallowing, speech etc. It
is also essential to restore from esthetic disorders by the surgery and
esthetics must not be impaired as possible even after surgery. The oral
and maxillofacial surgery procedure must consider both aspects of
functionality and #esthetics, and the surgery must be performed with high
precision. Therefore, the trend of using medical imaging technology,
which has remarkably progressed in oral and #maxillofacial surgery, has
accelerated in recent years. Medical imaging technology enables to
accurately memorize, measure, and visualize the necessary information
for the operator and is indispensable for planning a #surgery\, assisting
surgical techniques, and evaluating after surgery. This study reviews
medical imaging technologies that are popular in clinical use for each
major surgery in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Surgeries such as Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy, #sagittal split #ramus osteotomy, and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy are performed to
correct jaw deformities. Occlusal position is a criterion that
determines the movement extent of the jaw. Therefore, a CAD/ CAM
surgical splint is prepared in advance by surgical simulation using
computed tomography (CT) [1].
