“…Several methods have been proposed for this type of prediction [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Wolford et al [9] and Proffit [10] presented the most systematic approaches, either by moving templates (template method) or by repositioning an overlay tracing of the patient's cephalogram (overlay method).…”

The cephalometric prediction of orthognathic treatment outcome is an important part of the surgical planning and the process of informed consent. The orthodontic and surgical changes must be described accurately prior to treatment in order to assess the treatment's feasibility, to optimize case management and to increase patient's understanding and acceptance of the recommended treatment. The aim of the present article was to investigate on the factors that could influence the accuracy of cephalometric prediction in planning orthognathic surgery. Review of the literature revealed that, besides factors directly related to the prediction method and its use, there exist a considerable number of factors which could affect significantly the accuracy of soft tissue response. These factors could be biological ones such as relapse, centre of mandibular rotation and individual variation in response to treatment and others such as gender, race, pre-operative soft tissue thickness and data bases for mean ratios of soft to hard tissue movement changes. Some of the factors affecting the accuracy of prediction of soft tissue response following orthognathic surgery are inevitable and there are others, difficult to control and predict. However, patients should be informed that predictions are only a guide, may not represent the actual result of the surgical outcome, and as such they should be implemented.

Over the past decade the growing number of adult patients seeking for orthodontic treatment made orthognathic surgery popular. Surgical and orthodontic techniques have developed to the point where combined orthodontic and surgical treatment is now feasible to manage dentofacial deformity problems very satisfactorily. The prediction of orthognathic treatment outcome is an important part of orthognathic planning and the process of patient' inform consent. The predicted results must be presented to the patients prior to treatment in order to assess the treatment's feasibility, optimize case management and increase patient understanding and acceptance of the recommended treatment. Cephalometrics is a routine part of the diagnosis and treatment planning process and also allows the clinician to evaluate changes following orthognathic surgery. Traditionally cephalometry has been employed manually; nowadays computerized cephalometric systems are very popular. Cephalometric prediction in orthognathic surgery can be done manually or by computers, using several currently available software programs, alone or in combination with video images. Both manual and computerized cephalometric prediction methods are two-dimensional and cannot fully describe three-dimensional phenomena. Today, three-dimensional prediction methods are available, such as three-dimensional computerized tomography (3DCT), 3D magnetic resonance imaging (3DMRI) and surface scan/cone-beam CT. The aim of this article is to present and discuss the different methods of cephalometric prediction of the orthognathic surgery outcome.

“…In an effort to produce a more realistic prediction, Henderson advocated combining the cephalometric radiograph with a photograph of the patient which is in a 1:1 ratio to the lateral cephalogram (Henderson, 1974). This is a much simpler method than the overlay tracing technique.…”

Objectives:To determine the validity of 3dMD Vultus in predicting soft tissue morphology following orthognathic surgery. Methods:Thirteen patients with a skeletal discrepancy that required surgical correction limited to a Le Fort I surgical advancement osteotomy were included within the study. These patients had previously undergone a CBCT scan immediately before surgery (T1) and 6 months after surgery (T2).To permit validation, hard and soft tissues were linked for each time point and the hard tissues superimposed on the cranial vault and base. Using 3dMD Vultus virtual surgery was carried out to position the mandible and maxilla at T1 to the post-surgical position at T2. The resulting 3D soft tissue prediction mesh was then compared to the actual soft tissue mesh at T2 by segmenting both meshes at distinct anatomically areas of the face. The absolute distance between meshes for each region was then calculated using a custom developed computer program.
