ABSTRACT

The use of virtual planning has demonstrated in several studies greater predictability of surgical results, as well as a reduction in surgical time. In addition, we have the possibility to compare our results with the planning through a comparison with a postoperative CT. This technical note aims to describe how to plan surgery for fractures in atrophic mandibles using pre-surgical 3D technology and a free software.



RESUMEN

El uso de la planificación virtual ha demostrado en varios estudios una mayor predictibilidad de los resultados quirúrgicos, así como una reducción del tiempo quirúrgico y la posibilidad
de comparar nuestros resultados con los esperados mediante una comparación con un TC
postoperatorio. En esta nota técnica se describe cómo planificar de forma virtual la cirugía
mediante tecnología 3D “in house” de fracturas en mandíbulas atróficas usando un software
de uso libre.
