Comparison of manual and virtual model surgery for wafer fabrication in maxillary repositioning: an in vitro study

Table 2 Influence of rotational movements on coordinate differences of the maxilla between CW and VMS

Types of rotational movements		Transverse (Δx)	Anteroposterior (Δy)	Vertical (Δz)
pitch	Absence	0.49 ± 0.41	1.01 ± 1.00	0.50 ± 0.26
pitch	Presence	0.71 ± 0.54	0.99 ± 0.77	0.85 ± 0.37*
roll	Absence	0.36 ± 0.26	0.68 ± 0.53	0.72 ± 0.37
roll	Presence	0.78 ± 0.56*	1.21 ± 0.98	0.71 ± 0.38
yaw	Absence	0.34 ± 0.23	0.57 ± 0.28	0.57 ± 0.30
yaw	Presence	1.04 ± 0.51*	1.64 ± 1.05	0.93 ± 0.36*

p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant differences compared to the group without rotational movements. CW, conventionally fabricated wafer; VMS, virtual model surgery
