Accuracy Assessment of Customized Titanium Plates Compared to 3D-Printed Splints in Le Fort I Osteotomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial Evaluating Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes

Both customized titanium plates and 3D-printed splints accurately transferred virtual surgical plans for Le Fort I osteotomy. However, the personalized plate system showed greater precision in anteroposterior maxillary positioning. Additionally, it reduced surgical time and eliminated the need for intraoperative splint use. Further studies with larger sample sizes and standardized protocols are recommended to validate these findings and guide future clinical applications.
