Maxillary Total Elongation Surgery using 3D Virtual Surgery, CAD/CAM and 3D Printing Technology: Surgical Convenience and Accuracy.After Le Fort I osteotomy was first performed by von Langernbeck in 1859, there has been many improvements since.  In this study, the authors utilized 3D virtual surgery, CAD/CAM-assisted 3D printing technology to overcome such limitations of maxillary total elongation.  Although this study is a single-case study, this study shows increased accuracy and efficacy from application of 3D virtual surgery, CAD/CAM, and 3D printing technology.
