Vale, F; Scherzberg, J; Cavaleiro, J; Sanz, D; Caramelo, F; Maló, L; Marcelino, JPOBJECTIVE: In this case report, the feasibility and precision of tridimensional (3D) virtual planning in one patient with craniofacial microsomia is tested using Nemoceph 3D-OS software (Software Nemotec SL, Madrid, Spain) to predict postoperative outcomes on hard tissue and produce CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) surgical splints. METHODS: The clinical protocol consists of 3D data ...
