The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the two-dimensional profile prediction produced by the computer-assisted simulation system for orthognathic surgery (CASSOS), for the correction of class III facial deformities. Correction was by maxillary advancement (n=17) or bimaxillary surgery (n=16). The mean age was 24 years (range 18-42). The surgical and dental movements obtained from the postoperative cephalogram were used to produce a CASSOS profile prediction, which was compared with the soft-tissue profile. The prediction was superimposed onto the postoperative radiograph, and a coordinate system was used to measure linear differences. For the maxillary advancement group there were statistical differences for three horizontal landmarks: superior labial sulcus (p=0.017), labrale superious (p=0.038) and labiomental fold (p=0.014). In the bimaxillary group only the landmark vertical labrale superious (p=0.002) showed a statistical difference. Generally, CASSOS produced useful profile predictions for maxillary advancement surgery or bimaxillary surgery for Class III patients, although there was considerable individual variation. The main areas of inaccuracy were the lips. The major difference between the two types of surgery was that most of the errors in the maxillary surgery group were in the horizontal direction, whilst for the bimaxillary surgery the errors were mainly in the vertical direction.
