Virtual and traditional surgical planning in orthognathic surgery – systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract

of the planning mean differences. The continued evolution of VSP and improved application knowledge will be important in reducing the time of planning and surgery, thus improving the outcomes of the complex bimaxillary osteotomy. The current evidence shows that VSP significantly performs better than TSP in reducing the bimaxillary osteotomy planning time, but the timing difference is not significant during surgery. Future analysis will benefit from using studies with standard research and reporting metrics and procedures, thus improving evidence-based clinical practice.
