Abstract
Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the soft tissue changes after anterior maxillary osteotomy using cone beam computed tomography. 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 soft tissue changes. All cases subjected to anterior maxillary osteotomy using modified Cuper technique. Follow up of cases was does clinically and radiographically by cone beam computed tomography. The results of the study proved that the statistically significant increasein mean Nasolabial angle after 6 monthswas 5.2 degrees,the mean value of nasal width after 6 months was 0,9mm. The mean value of Philtrum length was 3.3 mm. 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.
