[Orthodontic and surgical approach to mandibular prognathia. Prevention of recurrences].
The authors emphasize the necessity for a combined orthodontic and surgical approach to the problems posed by the treatment of mandibular prognathia. They feel that the major source of recurrences is related to the alveolar changes which accompany the new basal maxillo-mandibular relationship and the resultant modifications in muscular equilibrium. The prevention of recurrences must therefore take into account the prediction of adaptive remodelling of the alveolar processes.
