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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
