Abstract
Surgical mandibular advancement results in many soft tissue changes. T he purpose of this study was to quantify the changes seen in the cervi comental angle and the lip-chin-throat angles in response to mandibula r advancement, as well as hyoid bone positional changes. As a result o f statistical analysis of hyoid bone and soft tissue linear and angula r changes, prediction models are presented as to the soft tissue respo nse to mandibular advancement in the cervicomental region.
