However, for Prof. Thomas Schouman, a CMF surgeon at the AP-HP Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, and Maarten Zandbergen, Market Manager for Cranio-Maxillofacial Solutions at Materialise, predictability begins much earlier – with digital planning, long before the patient enters the operating theatre.
