[Surgical correction of deep bite for the prevention of periodontal damage].
The operative corrections used up to now which were limited to the displacement of the maxillary frontal fragments of the alveolar process, only bring about a partial correction of the deep bite. For this reason additional operative methods on the mandible are recommended, which vary according to the bite. When the bite is neutral the fragment of the lower alveolar process should be placed deeper and should be tilted forward. On the other hand in distal bite cases the recommended procedure is, after dealing with the upper front according to maxillo-facial principles, to correct the mandibular retrusion and deep bite by deepening and advancing the lower alveolar process.
