Computer-based simulation.
A simulation gives the clinician the opportunity to perform virtual surgery and to predict the surgical outcome, thereby increasing the probability of successful results with no risk to the patient. A: Presurgical orthognathic case imaging. B: Applying the mass-spring model. C: Surgical simulation—mass-spring approach.
