In-house digital workflow for virtual surgical planning and guide fabrication in bimaxillary orthognathic surgery with genioplasty: A technical case report.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Virtual surgical planning (VSP) has become the standard approach in orthognathic surgery, allowing more precise and predictable skeletal movements. However, many centers still rely on outsourced digital workflows for surgical planning and guide fabrication, which may increase turnaround times and costs. The development of in-house digital workflows offers an alternative that allows full control of the planning and manufacturing process. Material and Methods: A patient with dentofacial deformity underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery (Le Fort I and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy) with guided genioplasty using a "Maxilla First" protocol. DICOM files from CBCT imaging and STL models from intraoral scans were merged in IPS Case Designer to perform virtual surgical planning. Surgical splints and guides were designed using Meshmixer and manufactured in the hospital's 3D laboratory using stereolithography with biocompatible resins. Post-processing included alcohol cleaning, thermal curing, and sterilization according to hospital protocols. Results: The entire workflow from image acquisition to sterilized surgical guides was completed within approximately 3-5 days. Virtual planning allowed accurate simulation of skeletal movements and fabrication of patient-specific guides and splints. Intraoperative application demonstrated excellent adaptation of the guides and splints, allowing precise transfer of the virtual plan and reducing the need for intraoperative adjustments. Conclusions: In-house digital workflows represent a feasible and efficient approach for orthognathic surgery planning and guide fabrication. This model improves communication between clinical and technical teams, reduces production times and costs, and increases autonomy in surgical planning.
