Popis: The aim of this study was to assess whether the use of intraoral scans (IOS) is an eligible alternative to conventional plaster casts in terms of surgical accuracy of three-dimensionally planned bimaxillary osteotomies. This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent bimaxillary surgery between 2016 and 2020 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen. Three-dimensional virtual planning was performed with the use of plaster casts in one group and IOS in the other group. Cone beam computed tomography scans were acquired preoperatively and at 1 week following surgery. By using voxel-based matching, the maxillary movements were quantified in six degrees of freedom. The primary outcome variable, surgical accuracy, was defined as the difference between the planned maxillary movements and those achieved. Of 152 patients, 113 were documented with plaster casts and 39 with IOS. The surgical accuracy was comparable in terms of maxillary vertical, sagittal, and transverse translations, as well as roll and yaw. Maxillary pitch (difference 0.55 ± 0.26°; P = 0.001) was in favour of the IOS group. This study demonstrated that IOS can be used as an alternative to conventional plaster casts in the three-dimensional planning of bimaxillary osteotomies.
