Description
Petrică Florin Sava and co-authors compare in a 2026 study old-style and fully digital planning for double-jaw corrective surgery, where millimeter misses show in the face. One hundred patients with jaw mismatch split evenly between plaster-era planning and a digital suite. Before-and-after scans were overlaid to measure the drift.
Digital plans landed closer to target at both jaw landmarks, with total error cut from about 1.8 to 1.4 millimeters. Planning and operating times also fell significantly. Every case stayed within clinically acceptable bounds, but the digital bench was both truer and faster.
