Competency information
Details
Plan and manufacture a surgical inter-occlusal wafer for bi-maxillary orthognathic surgery.
Considerations
- Patterns of craniofacial growth and common dentofacial deformities/syndromes.
- Applied head and neck anatomy.
- Surgical techniques for bimaxillary osteotomies.
- Model-based pre-operative planning systems, computer-aided planning systems.
- Design principles for operative wafers for mandibular osteotomies.
- Disinfection procedures for use in the clinical and operating theatre environment.
Orthognathic Surgery Planning
- Craniofacial and jaw deformities:
- cleft lip and palate, incidence, aetiology, treatment
- surgical techniques for orthognathic surgery
- distraction osteogenesis.
- Model based pre-operative planning systems, computer-aided planning systems.
- Design principles for devices and surgical aids for orthognathic surgery.
Surgical Procedures and Devices
- Theatre protocols.
- Surgical procedures relevant to orthognathic and craniofacial surgery.
