Abstract: Orthognathic surgery is a classic procedure to correct dentomaxillofacial deformities. Due to the complexity of the dentomaxillofacial anatomy, detailed and accurate surgical planning is usually required before the operation. With the rapid development of medical imaging technologies and surgical planning softwares in recent years, virtual surgical planning(VSP) has been increasingly applied in orthognathic surgery to provide more accurate, efficient and predictable planning and simulation. The design and development of VSP in orthognathic surgery involves image acquisition and composite head model construction, three-dimensional reference frame definition, virtual occlusion setup, virtual osteotomy and surgical simulation, soft tissue prediction and transfer tools. This paper summarizes the research of related steps for clinical reference.
