title: A three-dimensional system for planning orthognathic surgery. A case report.
abstract: Conventional records are often inadequate for planning correction of complex dentofacial deformities. A treatment planning system, consisting of computed tomographic-generated jaw models mounted on a special articulator, allows for presurgical decisions about the correctness of surgical movements or the need for alternative approaches.
