Maxillary Total Elongation Surgery using 3D Virtual Surgery, CAD/CAM and 3D Printing Technology: Surgical Convenience and Accuracy

In this study, the authors utilized 3D virtual surgery, CAD/CAM-assisted 3D printing technology to overcome such limitations of maxillary total elongation. In addition, accuracy at 7 different landmarks from superimposition of virtual simulation data and postoperative Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data were measured. Although posterior maxilla exhibited bigger range of errors, an error of
