Orthognathic surgery accurately achieves planned changes, showing no significant difference between predictions and outcomes. This validates orthognathic profile planning and surgical execution in correcting dentofacial deformities.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Orthognathic surgery corrects dentofacial deformities.
  • Accurate surgical planning is crucial for predictable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the accuracy of planned surgical changes in orthognathic surgery.
  • To compare cephalometric predictions with actual surgical results.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cephalometric analysis of 62 patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
  • Comparison of pre-operative predictions with post-operative measurements.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant difference between planned orthognathic predictions and surgical outcomes.

  • Individual variations were observed but did not impact overall accuracy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Orthognathic profile planning is a reliable method for surgical correction.
    • Surgeons demonstrate a high ability to execute planned orthognathic procedures accurately.
