How often should results go according to plan? No surgeon is perfect all the time, yet surgery is a discipline driven by results. Surgeons have therefore turned to technology to improve not only their outcomes but also how often they achieve high-quality results. Almost entire human creativity today, from the standpoint of its efficiency and expediency, is conditioned with the existence of technology. Progresses in computer-based technologies including virtual reality simulators, augmented reality, virtual plastic surgery software and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing systems have resulted in new modalities for instruction and practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The efficiency offered by new technology to conventional model surgery can return hours to a surgeon's day through a more streamlined work-up and smoother intra-operative experience with confidence in the surgical accuracy. Continuous quality improvement has been a mantra in health care for many years. Surgeons are always looking to improve not only the quality of their results but also the consistency with which these results are achieved. To this end, new technology is being incorporated into or replacing traditional diagnostics and treatment planning.
结果应该多频繁地按计划进行？没有外科医生能一直做到完美，但外科手术是一门由结果驱动的学科。因此，外科医生转向技术，不仅是为了改善手术结果，也是为了提高获得高质量结果的频率。从效率和便利性的角度来看，如今几乎整个人类创造力都依赖于技术的存在。基于计算机的技术进步，包括虚拟现实模拟器、增强现实、虚拟整形手术软件以及计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造系统，为口腔颌面外科的教学和实践带来了新的模式。新技术为传统模型手术带来的效率提升，通过更简化的术前准备和更顺畅的术中体验，以及对手术准确性的信心，能让外科医生每天节省数小时。持续质量改进多年来一直是医疗保健领域的口头禅。外科医生一直致力于不仅提高手术结果的质量，还提高实现这些结果的一致性。为此，新技术正在被纳入或取代传统的诊断和治疗规划。
