Do vertical soft-tissue and actual bony landmarks correlate in Le Fort I orthognathic surgery?

Vertical changes in LeFort I orthognathic surgery are critical to the overall aesthetic result. 3D planning enables vertical measurements from the rendered CT scan, but intraoperative points are ascribed partially from soft tissues landmarks. This study compares intraoperative soft tissue vertical measurements with pre- and postoperative CT-based values, and attempts to validate intraoperative soft tissue landmarks for vertical positioning.
