SOFT TISSUE BASED REVERSE ENGINEERING PLAN FOR ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY

There has been a notable surge in interest regarding the anticipation of how soft tissues respond to movements of hard tissues. Several algorithms have been created and integrated into commercially accessible software packages for predicting three-dimensional alterations in facial soft tissues. Numerous methods have been investigated for forecasting soft tissue responses with the mass-spring model (MSM) finite element model (FEM) and mass tensor model (MTM) being the most commonly used techniques. Consequently evaluating the precision of soft tissue prediction is recommended particularly in cases of surgically correcting facial asymmetry where two-dimensional (2D) prediction planning offers limited utility.
