Orthognathic Surgical Case Planning & Documentation
Plan orthognathic surgery with cephalometric analysis and surgical sequencing
What You Can Do
You systematically evaluate orthognathic cases by interpreting cephalometric data, predicting surgical movements, and coordinating with surgical teams. Claude helps you develop presurgical decompensation plans, create surgical movement vectors, prepare patient education materials, and document treatment decisions for medicolegal protection—enabling confident surgical collaboration and informed patient consent.
Features
analyze skeletal relationships, jaw discrepancies, and vertical dimensions to identify surgical needs
calculate three-dimensional movement vectors and anticipate relapse patterns for Class II, Class III, open bite, and asymmetry cases
plan tooth positioning and decompensation phases to optimize surgical access and final occlusal outcomes
develop detailed movement plans and anchorage strategies to communicate with surgical partners
generate educational explanations of skeletal problems, surgical solutions, and treatment phases for informed consent
outline orthodontic finishing, retention strategies, and relapse monitoring after surgical correction
create comprehensive case records documenting diagnostic reasoning, treatment decisions, and expected outcomes
address concurrent periodontal, implant, and restorative considerations within surgical timelines
Example Output
Cephalometric Analysis Summary:
- ANB angle correction from +8° to +2° via bimaxillary advancement
- Vertical dimension assessment: posterior clockwise rotation indicated by SN-GoMe 38°
- Surgical recommendation: Maxillary advancement 8mm + mandibular advancement 6mm
Presurgical Decompensation Plan:
- Phase 1 (12 months): Leveling/alignment while decompensating maxillary molars +3mm relative to incisors
- Mandibular incisor proclination to 35° SN for Class III correction
- Create dental decompensation to expose true skeletal discrepancy
Patient Communication Document:
- "Your upper jaw is positioned 8mm too far back and your lower jaw is 6mm too far forward, creating your underbite"
- "Surgery will move both jaws into correct position; braces before and after surgery fine-tune your bite"
- "Treatment timeline: 12 months of pre-surgery braces, surgery, then 6-9 months of final positioning"

You can systematically evaluate patients with severe skeletal discrepancies and develop coordinated surgical treatment plans that integrate cephalometric analysis, surgical movement simulation, and patient communication strategies. This skill structures the entire pre-operative planning process—from baseline skeletal assessment through surgical consultation readiness—ensuring precise documentation and clear coordination with maxillofacial surgery partners.

You can systematically develop phase-by-phase orthodontic treatment protocols that synthesize diagnostic data, patient anatomy, and mechanical principles. This skill generates detailed appliance selection recommendations, extraction vs. non-extraction analyses, wire progression sequences, and clinical milestones to guide efficient execution from initial placement through retention for complex malocclusions requiring three-dimensional control.

You can input detailed case information—including patient history, radiographic findings, clinical examination results, and anatomical considerations—and receive a comprehensive treatment analysis. The skill generates structured case summaries, identifies critical diagnostic elements, evaluates treatment options (conventional endodontic, surgical, or extraction), and produces documentation-ready prognosis assessments that support clinical decision-making and patient communication.

You can generate complete treatment plans for traditional fixed appliance cases by integrating diagnostic data, skeletal/dental analysis, and biomechanical principles. Claude helps you structure extraction vs. non-extraction decisions, design anchorage control strategies, sequence mechanics systematically, and create patient-facing narratives that explain your clinical rationale. This skill is designed for moderate-to-complex cases where defensible clinical reasoning and treatment efficiency optimization are critical.

This skill provides endodontists with a systematic protocol for assessing acute dental trauma cases, establishing urgency levels based on injury type and pulp vitality indicators, and creating documented baseline diagnostics that inform treatment decisions. You'll apply standardized assessment criteria across crown fractures, root fractures, luxation injuries, and avulsions—determining which cases need immediate intervention, which benefit from staged treatment, and which require specialist consultation or referral.

This skill walks you through systematic treatment planning for crown and bridge cases by integrating clinical variables—biomechanical principles, esthetic demands, material properties, patient factors, and financial constraints—into coherent treatment strategies. You'll receive structured decision-making frameworks for material selection, preparation geometry, span considerations, and detailed patient communication protocols that reduce clinical errors and improve predictability across single crowns, multi-unit bridges, complex esthetic cases, and implant-supported restorations.
