Clinical and perioperative outcomes of computer-guided versus conventional plan-transfer workflows in orthognathic surgery for skeletal anterior open bite: a randomized controlled trial
Introduction Skeletal anterior open bite (AOB) often requires orthognathic surgery. This study compared the clinical and perioperative outcomes of computer-guided and conventional plan-transfer workflows following virtual surgical planning. Methods Eighteen adults with skeletal AOB underwent virtual surgical planning and were subsequently randomized to computer-guided transfer of the established surgical plan using CAD/CAM guides ( n = 9) or conventional model-surgery transfer using articulator-mounted casts and oc …
