CONTENTS
COVER
On the cover: Virtual 3D planning in orthognathic surgery allows for a detailed visualization and analysis of skeletal and dental deformities, especially in patients with asymmetries. This approach uses computer-aided fabrication techniques to create surgical stents. This Clinicians Corner article by Uribe et al presents a new CBCT-based approach to treatment planning for 2 surgical patients with facial asymmetry. The smiling patient on the cover is Bofta Leakemariam, who was treated orthodontically by Dr John Bilodeau from Springeld, Virginia.
