Abstract

Le fort 1 osteotomy surgery is one of the most popular surgical methods for the treatment of patients with facial bone deformities. An intermediate wafer splint is used to fix the bone segment to the planned position, but there are many steps that can cause errors. To reduce these errors, we propose a method of using a surgical guide made with virtual surgical simulation.
