Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the success level of anterior maxillary osteotomy using cone beam computed tomography bone scan as a diagnostic tool. The study included twelve patients diagnosed as suffering from an excess of the anterior part of maxilla and required surgical correction by anterior maxillary osteotomy. Assessment of Cone beam computed tomography in evaluation the success level of anterior maxillary osteotomy. All cases subjected to anterior maxillary osteotomy using modified Cuper technique. Follow up of cases was does clinically and radio- graphically by cone beam computed tomography. The results of the study proved found the post-operative soft tissue and hard tissue results to be essentially stable at follow-up. In conclusion, Cone Beam Computed Tomography can be used to obtain dimensionally accurate linear and angular measurement from bony maxillofacial structure and landmarks and allows accurate, three-dimensional imaging of hard and soft tissues.
