ABSTRACT

Orthognathic surgery is a method for the correction of dentofacial deformities. This field has devel oped significantly since its first application in the 19th century and has gained a modern dimension, especially with the introduction of the sagittal split ramus osteotomy in 1957. Traditional surgical plan ning methods are used for orthognathic surgery, but nowadays, with the development of technology, digital planning techniques have come to the forefront. Digital planning is performed with advanced technologies such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanning, and stereophoto grammetry. With these methods, preoperative skeletal and soft tissue analysis can be performed in 3D, surgical movements can be simulated, and patientspecific surgical splints can be produced. Digital techniques save time while reducing the risk of complications. In addition, innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) improve the accu racy and efficiency of surgical processes. These technologies allow surgeons to receive better guidance in preoperative planning and during surgery. These digital approaches increase the reliability of surgi cal outcomes and significantly improve patient satisfaction. However, challenges include high costs, infrastructure requirements, and technical expertise. In conclusion, digital planning and new technol ogies offer a modern dimension to orthognathic surgery and support multidisciplinary collaboration, enabling surgeons to offer better treatment options.
