AIM: Computer-aided craniofacial reconstructions have been developed to allow surgeons to accurately simulate and predict the surgical outcome on complicated 3-D craniofacial structures. We have developed a new computerized method of 3-D simulation and prediction in orthognathic surgery (CASPOS) that not only enables clinicians to plan and simulate the surgical procedures, but also provides a bony "guiding splint" to allow surgeons to precisely position the bony segments into the planned location. This study is aimed for assessing the accuracy of simulation and prediction of our CASPOS protocol. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Fifteen adult patients with severe dento-skeletal discrepancies treated with orthodontics …
