Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Analysis of three-dimensional CT scans and cephalometric tracings accurately superimposed on transparent photographs of the patient preoperatively is essential to determine the extent of the facial deformity and the plan for skeletal rearrangement. The exact size of the defects that will need bone grafts can be determined.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Retrognathism occurs when one or both jaws are positioned posterior to the normal craniofacial relationship (i.e., behind the frontal plane of the forehead). In reference to the mandible, the condition is commonly known as a receding chin; this may create an overbite.
