ABSTRACT
A novel approach to Le Fort I osteotomy is presented, integrating patient-specific implants (PSIs), osteosynthesis and cutting guides within a minimally invasive surgical framework, and the accuracy of the procedure is assessed through 3D voxel-based superimposition. The technique was applied in 5 cases. Differences between the surgical plan and final outcome were evaluated as follows a 2-mm color scale was established to assess the anterior surfaces of the maxilla, mandible and chin, as well as the condylar surfaces. Measurements were made at 8 specific landmarks, and all of them showed a mean difference of less than 1 mm. In conclusion, the described protocol allows for minimally invasive Le Fort I osteotomy using PSIs. Besides, although the accuracy of the results may be limited by the small sample size, the findings are consistent with those reported in the literature. A prospective comparative study is needed to obtain statistically significant results and draw meaningful conclusions.
