| Popis: | Very often facial asymmetry is confused with laterognathia, but a careful study of facial asymmetries shows that the malformation does not involve the lower part of the face only but rather the middle part as well. Many surgeons correct the mandibular abnormality first and the affected maxilla at a later operation. This preliminary report of four cases shows that both procedures can be accomplished in a single operation. The surgical procedure was a bilateral osteotomy of the mandible together with supraalveolar osteotomy to allow a tilting and rotating movement of the bone fragments, accomplished by balancing the resection for shortening the bone against the bone grafting for lengthening. Good occlusal adjustment is obtained and the facial outlines are restored esthetically. |
