December 2007
Palo Alto and Pleasant Hill, Calif. From Stanford University School of Medicine, private practice, and the Craniofacial Anomalies Center, Packard Children's Hospital.
Background: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the accuracy and reliability of a computer simulation system that predicts the results of an internal curvilinear mandibular distractor in the treatment of hemifacial microsomia and severe mandibular retrognathia.
Methods: A two-dimensional computer analysis and simulation system was developed based on cephalometric radiographs and patient photographs. The software was used to generate and superimpose digital templates, corresponding to the actual distractor and logarithmic spiral, onto the lateral cephalometric tracings.
