 3D SURGERY™

What our customers say:

“My patients are more and more asking to pre-visualize their face ‘with’ or ‘without’ surgery and choose their treatment accordingly. Dolphin 3D Surgery is a wonderful tool of communication between doctor team and patient. It allows the patients to push away the fear of surgery.”
Dr. Alain Souchet, Mulhouse, France, customer since 2004

“Since my involvement with computed imaging research in the early 1980’s, I have been waiting for user-friendly 3D orthognathic planning software. Thirty years later, now we have it. Dolphin 3D Surgery is user-friendly and builds on the intuitive 2D planning interface.”Dr. Paul M Thomas, Chapel Hill, NC, customer since 1995


Interactive Instantaneous Incredible  

3D Surgery™ is a new and comprehensive case planning and presentation tool that animates the patient’s skeletal and facial changes in real time and outputs to a precise surgical guide. All you need is a 3D dataset and optional facial photo. Use data from cone beam CT, spiral CT, and other sources. Combine with intraoral scans or electronic models for accurate virtual model surgery. Along with the other wonderful features of Dolphin, this is why Dolphin 3D is used worldwide.

Simple to Learn, Easy to Use

Begin with a quality 3D cone beam or spiral CT image. Then, simply follow the step-by-step Segmentation Wizard to create the proper virtual surgery patient. If you utilize a 3D facial camera, Dolphin can process it; if not, Dolphin 3D Surgery can take full advantage of your clinical (2D) photographs.

Setup
Step 1: Setup
Map out the general area of the main structures: Proximal segments, maxilla and mandible
 
Step 2: Crop
Precisely segment the maxilla and mandible:
Step 3: Clean-up
Sculpt away any excess tissue from around the maxilla and mandible

Segmentation

Segmentation - Maxilla

Segmentation - Mandible
 
Osteotomy - Maxilla
  Step 4: Osteotomy
Perform the custom osteomy specific to the patient/case:
 

Osteotomy - Mandible

Osteotomy - Chin
 
Digitize Points
Step 5: Landmark
Digitize critical landmarks, including any 3D cephalometric analysis landmarks:
Instantly transfer model surgery movement values to physical model surgery/articulator
Step 6: Treat
Perform treatment simulation from the lateral, frontal and SMV views by moving skeletal structures and soft tissue contouring for profile; frontal nasal regions; and lip regions. Real-time simulation occurs during each movement:
