Cloud-based Orthognathic Surgical Planning Platform

Abstract

Multi-disciplinary technologies are currently involved in orthognathic and dental surgery. By using 3D and CT scans, the surgery can be planned beforehand by making use of 3D image processing, visualization and planning tools. With 3D printing, accurate splints and wafers can be generated for the surgery. Nowadays, these tools are on-premises software and this makes it very hard for collaboration between several specialists. Therefore, we researched the possibility to create an online cloud-based platform to run the currently used surgical planning tools. We achieved multiple two-factor authentication user logins, simultaneous surgical planning sessions and lightweight multi-platform support.
