More Information
Summary:This study investigated the accuracy with which the planned surgical change could be achieved during orthognathic surgery, based upon the retrospective cephalometric analysis of 62 patients who received correction of dentofacial deformity. It is concluded that, despite individual variation, no statistically significant difference could be demonstrated between the orthognathic prediction and the surgical outcome. This supports both the use of orthognathic profile planning and the surgeon's ability to follow the plan.
