AB  - This article presents a proposal of computer assisted treatment of morphological disorders of mandibular bone structure. Cephalometric analysis according to Schwarz was conducted with the application of CorelDRAW software, generally available software for editing of vector graphics and an alternative to expensive, specialized software dedicated for computer assisted pre-operational planning. An approach to cranio- and gnatometric measurements based on cephalometric planes, lines and points is presented. Thanks to the proposed approach to computer assisted planning of treatment, cephalometric analysis is more precise and faster in comparison to traditional analysis conducted manually on a radiograph.
