Abstract
Since the occlusogram was introduced by Deguchi et al in 1982, a few articles of occlusogram were reported.
There is, however, no article discussing if occlusogram could be used for diagnosis and treatment plan of surgical orthodontic cases.
There is a little difference in using occlusogram between surgical orthodontic case and non-surgical.
It seemed that the application of occlusogram was useful to surgical orthodontic case.
This article shows how to use an occlusogram combined with lateral cephalometrics correcting incisor relationship to jaw discrepancy for surgical orthodontic cases.
It was not only possible to predict the relation between occlusion and jaw after treatment, but also the distance of right and left setback of mandibular precisely.
