- Abstract
Patients with geroderma osteodysplasticum (GO) often times have dentofacial deformities and benefit from orthognathic surgery. Because of generalized osteopenia, operations must be prepared even more meticulously than usual, and the higher risk of unfortunate fractures (bad splits) should be explained to the patients in detail. This case report is intended to portray a digital, interdisciplinary and patient-individualized planning of orthognathic surgery. It points out the individual steps that must be considered and how they can be advantageously used in patients with underlying diseases or syndromes such as GO. Through a careful digital representation of the surgical options, production of the digitally modeled splints, 3D printing and good manual surgical implementation, the quality of life of patients with GO can be increased through orthognathic surgery. Both the functions in the oral, maxillofacial region and the patient's appearance in the case presented here benefited from the interdisciplinary, individualized and digital treatment approach.
