Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) Plates in Orthognathic Surgery
Overview
Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) plates are patient specific, pre bent titanium fixation plates designed using advanced 3D imaging and computer aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies. Virtual Surgical Planning plates have revolutionized orthognathic surgery by merging advanced imaging, digital simulation, and precision manufacturing. By incorporating digital planning into maxillofacial procedures, surgeons can achieve greater accuracy, efficiency, and predictability compared to traditional techniques.
How VSP Plates Work
Virtual Planning
The craniofacial structure of the patient is rendered in 3D high definition image and a model is generated over it virtually. Using specialized software, the surgeon can simulate desired jaw movements, evaluate the skeletal discrepancies, and predict both the functional and esthetic results
Custom Plate Design
After the surgical plan is determined, a custom fit plate is designed and constructed using CAD/CAM technology, replicating the patient’s anatomy and the planned skeletal repositioning.
Patient Specific Surgical Guides
In addition to plates, cutting and drilling guides are produced based on the digital plan. These guides help surgeons perform osteotomies and place fixation plates with exceptional precision.
Precise Fixation
During the surgery, the patient specific plate is placed and fixed to retain the segments of the jaw in their predetermined position exactly. This results in predictable outcomes and achieves surgical accuracy.
How VSP Plates Work
Enhanced Accuracy and Precision
VSP allows for accurate transfer of the virtual plan to the operating room leading to accurate skeletal repositioning.
Reduced Surgical Time
As plates are pre-bent, and guides are customised, intra-operative modification is kept to a minimum, thus decreasing both the complexity of procedure and surgeon fatigue.
Improved Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes
More precise adjustability of jaw position results in improved bite relationship, facial balance and long-term stability of the effects.
Comprehensive Preoperative Planning
They allow surgeons to rehearse different treatment options, anticipate potential complications, and improve the surgical outcome prior to the procedure.

1: What are Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) plates?
Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) plates are custom-designed surgical plates created using digital planning. They help surgeons achieve accurate jaw positioning and predictable outcomes in orthognathic surgery through precise preoperative planning.
2: How are VSP plates used in orthognathic surgery?
VSP plates in orthognathic surgery are designed after virtual surgical planning to guide bone movement and fixation. They reduce surgical time, improve accuracy, and ensure better alignment during corrective jaw procedures.
3: What are the benefits of virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery?
Virtual surgical planning improves accuracy, predictability, and efficiency in orthognathic surgery. Using VSP plates allows surgeons to visualize outcomes, minimize errors, and deliver consistent surgical results with reduced intraoperative adjustments.
4: Are VSP plates customized for each patient?
Yes, Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) plates are patient-specific. They are designed based on individual anatomical data, ensuring precise fit and optimal outcomes for orthognathic surgery cases requiring high accuracy.
5: Is virtual surgical planning available in India?
Virtual surgical planning in India is widely adopted for orthognathic surgery. Advanced VSP plates and digital workflows are available to support surgeons with accurate planning, customized solutions, and improved surgical outcomes.
