Popis: | Since the orthodontist is frequently the first clinician to be consulted for dentofacial deformity, an awareness of potential surgical procedures available to correct, such deformities is imperative. Despite the fact that isolated genioplasty is becoming rare, the role the procedure plays in corrective jaw surgery is not diminished. Functional and cosmetic aspects must be considered in case planning and the flexibility of the procedure lends itself well to deformity correction in all three dimensions. |
