Purpose To explore the advantages of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and traditional
surgical planning (TSP) to determine whether the current VSP technique is superior to the …

In the field of maxillofacial surgery, there is a huge demand from surgeons to be able to pre-
operatively predict the new facial outlook after surgery. Besides the big interest for the …

Introduction Throughout the history of computing, shortening the gap between the physical
and digital world behind the screen has always been strived for. Recent advances in three …

The 3D prediction of post-operative changes is an inevitable tool for the surgical correction
of facial asymmetry. The objective is to execute an evidence-based review answering the …

Methods: The sample consisted of 20 subjects from the surgical clinic of a graduate
orthodontic program who had been treated with Le Fort I maxillary movement, bisagittal split …

Background Recent advances in diagnostic imaging and associated software have enabled
the transformation of anatomical structures into finite element (FE) models facilitating …

A robust statistical surface registration framework using implicit function representations.
Application in craniofacial reconstruction Surface registration refers to the establishment of …

This paper introduces a technique for detecting covert storage channels using a tree
structure called a Covert Flow Tree. The benefits of using Covert Flow Trees to perform a …

Three-dimensional soft tissue simulation has become a popular tool in the process of virtual
orthognathic surgery planning and patient–surgeon communication. To apply 3D soft tissue …

Purpose Second-stage reconstruction of mandibular defects faces problems of anatomic
disorder and bone displacement due to tumor resection. As a newer technique, virtual …
