Purpose: to evaluate the accuracy of Computer-Assisted Surgical Simulation (CASS) in the surgery-first treatment of Dentoskeletal Deformities. Materials and methods: Ten patients with different dentoskeletal deformities, were involved in this study. Preoperative clinical evaluation, photographs, study models, and 2D lateral cephalometry were adopted for orthodontic evaluation if the case is eligible for the surgery- first approach. MSCT (in DICOM format), and optical scanning of the study model (in STL format) were adopted and imported to MIMICS software for construction of virtual 3D composite model. The virtual surgical simulation was performed on the light of the preclinical evaluation and preoperative records, …
