IPS CaseDesigner 2.5.7: Virtual Surgical Planning for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery
IPS CaseDesigner 2.5.7 is a software platform developed by Nobel Biocare for dental and craniomaxillofacial surgical planning. It enables clinicians to create 3D patient models from CT/CBCT data, perform cephalometric analysis, and simulate orthognathic surgical procedures .
Key Features

-
Osteotomy Simulation: Supports Le Fort and bilateral sagittal split osteotomies
-
Occlusion Definition: Supports virtual bite setting, model surgery, or a combination of both
Diagnostic and Analysis Tools
-
Cephalometric Analysis: Built-in Surgery Ceph Wizard for standardized measurements and custom analyses
-
Airway Analysis: Visualizes airway and calculates minimum cross-sectional area and total volume
-
