Comparison between Manual and Software Surgical Planning Predictions in Orthognathic Surgery

Abstract

RESUMO ABSTRACTProcedimentos cirúrgicos ortognáti cos; Validação de programas de computador; Má oclusão de Angle classe III.Orthognathic surgical procedures; Soft ware validati on; Malocclusion, Angle class III. Finally, measured the rate of skeletal movements at in three dimensional of spaces. Fift een angular and linear variables were measured, and the results, analyzed using the stati sti cal soft ware stati sti cs. For each pati ent, the manual and computer soft ware predicti on before and aft er surgery were compared with each other. The paired t-test was used to evaluate possible diff erences between manual and computer soft ware predicti on (p<0.05). DESCRITORES KEYWORDS Results:The diff erence of the variables of the soft ware predicti on in the pre and postsurgical stages in comparison with standard manual predicti on method was insignifi cant. Conclusion: Dolphin Imaging soft ware (version 10.0) has a good accuracy for predicti on of pre and postsurgical outcome of orthognathic samples.
