Collaboration between orthodontist and surgeon increasingly relies on digital tools. Dr Serge Ketoff co-authored this review on the digital workflow and new communication tools in orthosurgery.
In brief
- Orthosurgery relies on orthodontist–surgeon collaboration.
- Digital tools streamline communication and planning.
- A shared workflow improves precision and patient understanding.
The topic
Orthodontic–surgical care requires constant exchange between practitioners. This article reviews the new communication tools and digital workflow that now structure this collaboration, from planning to follow-up.
Practical relevance
Sharing 3D data, imaging and simulations aligns the orthodontist's and surgeon's goals, while making the treatment plan clearer for the patient. Digital tools become a common language serving precision and treatment consistency.
Key points
- Digital workflow at the heart of orthosurgery.
- Better orthodontist–surgeon communication.
- Clearer treatment plan for the patient.
