In complex cases, digital technology today offers outstanding improvements and simplifications in craniomaxillofacial surgery and prosthetic treatments, leading to a wide range of planning and pretreatment options. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology enables the fabrication of tooth-colored flexible polycarbonate splints that offer a noninvasive, removable, functional, and esthetic solution. In intricate cases involving craniomaxillofacial anomalies, often together with necessary orofacial surgeries or prosthetic treatments due to moderate to severe tooth wear, such digital preprosthetic treatment and planning options represent an important enhancement with more predictable results.
