title: [Recurrence factors in the surgical treatment of prognathism of the mandible].
abstract: With regard to recurrences following surgery for prognathia of the mandible, the authors draw the distinction between immediate and secondary recurrences caused by errors in surgical indication or technique. They then review late recurrences, which they classify as being alveolar, basal or by forward sliding. They then study the role played in recurrences by growth of the condyle, neuromuscular balance and the hyoid suspensor system. Finally they stress the action of the tongue and the age factor (over 17 years being, in their view, desirable).
