Orthognathic surgery is performed for the correction of craniofacial discrepancies. However, complications, such as tooth discoloration are possible. This case report presents two patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy associated with segmental Le Fort I and genioplasty. During surgeries, apical region anterior teeth was accidentally injured in both cases. After three-w...

OBJECTIVE Accurate prediction of the surgical outcome is important in treating dentofacial deformities. Visualized treatment objectives usually involve manual surgical simulation based on tracing of cephalometric radiographs. Recent technical advancements have led to the use of computer assisted imaging systems in treatment planning for orthognathic surgical cases. The purpose of this study was...

In orthognathic treatment planning for the correction of dentofacial deformities imaging and planning are important steps prior to surgery. Based on the natural head orientation, the anterio-posterior and vertical position of the upper incisor tip is one of the key elements in aesthetic planning. Gum exposure and facial and smile harmony are factors that influence this position. After definitio...
