A predictive model of advancement genioplasty in Class III bimaxillary surgical cases
ConclusionThe analysis of changes (specifically the aesthetic ones) between the two groups of patients, allowed the proposal of a model predicting the amount of chin displacement performed in genioplasty group, based on the presurgical parameters. This model could contribute to determine an indicative value for bimaxillary surgery with additional genioplasty. (Source: International Orthodontics)
