Summary:The aim of this article is to develop a navigation-guided oral and maxillofacial surgery including surgical planning, simulation and navigation in temporomandibular joint ankylosis case practiced in tertiary care hospital. After getting the computed tomographic angiography of head and neck, the special software of Brain lab ® is used to mark the arteries and veins of the patient, which was in close approximation to the mandibular condyle. Brain lab ® navigation system was used during the surgery to ascertain the middle meningeal artery location, and osteotomy cut was given. Navigation technology use in the neurosurgery is not new. But its use in the subcontinent in the field of maxillofacial surgery is quite rare. First time, it has been used scientifically in temporomandibular joint ankylosis case. Navigation technology use in the maxillofacial surgery requires a holistic imaginative/creative approach to make the surgeries more predictive and safe.
