Abstract
Objective To investigate the application of computer-assisted three dimensional planning and simulation system for orthognathic surgery in the treatment of old maxillafacial fracture.Methods On the basis of Windows 98,the three dimensional simulation system was set up by 3-D visualization technique and VisualC++6.0.The imaging information of six old maxillafacial fracture cases was collected,and the dimensional surgical planning and simulation was preformed by the system.Results The orthognathic osteotomies of the six cases were performed in our system interactively and the clinical results were satisfactory.Conclusion The system can be used to raise the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment of old maxillafacial fracture,and promote the communication and cooperation between patients and doctors.
