A novel soft tissue prediction methodology for orthognathic surgery based on probabilistic finite element modelling.

A novel soft tissue prediction methodology for orthognathic surgery based on probabilistic finite element modelling.

Repositioning of the maxilla in orthognathic surgery is carried out for functional and aesthetic purposes. Pre-surgical planning tools can predict 3D facial appearance by computing the response of the soft tissue to the changes to the underlying skeleton. The clinical use of commercial prediction so...
