Abstract:
0.05) postoperatively. 3. In the facial index, hard tissue decreased(0.23+/-2.21%), but soft tissue increased(2.41+/-3.46%) with statistical significance. CONCLUSION: One of the main purpose of orthognathic surgery is to achieve facial esthetics and harmony. In order to fullfill this purpose, it is important to carry out a precise presurgical treatment planning by estimating the changes of frontal profile after surgery.]]>
