Impact of 3D-Printed Anatomical Model on Patient Understanding in Orthognathic Surgery
Sponsor: King Abdulaziz University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using three dimensional (3D)-printed anatomical models improves the informed consent process for participants undergoing orthognathic surgery. The trial also explores how these models affect participants understanding, anxiety, satisfaction, and communication with the surgeon. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do 3D-printed anatomical models improve participants understanding of their jaw condition and the surgical procedure? * Do they reduce participants anxiety before surgery? * Do they enhance overall participants satisfaction and the physician-patient relationship? Researchers compares participants who received standard two dimensional (2D) imaging and verbal explanations with those who received the same information plus 3D-printed jaw models. Participants: * Scheduled for double- or triple-jaw orthognathic surgery * Randomly assigned to receive either traditional 2D education or the 3D-printed model intervention * Complete a validated questionnaires assessing understanding, anxiety, satisfaction, and doctor-patient communication

Interventions
3D-printed Orthognathic Surgical Simulation
Two standardized 3D-printed anatomical models were created-one representing skeletal Class II and the other skeletal Class III. Simulated osteotomies, including Le Fort I and Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomies, were performed on the models to demonstrate surgical movements. These models are used to help patients visualize the procedures planned for their specific cases.
2D Visual Representations of Skeletal Movements in Orthognathic Surgery
Two-dimensional images generated from virtual surgical planning-one depicting a Class II skeletal deformity and the other a Class III malocclusion-are used to illustrate the patient's condition and demonstrate the anticipated surgical movements.
