title: Logopaedic findings following advancement of the maxilla.
abstract: From 1972 to 1974, the authors carried out logopaedic examinations of over 100 patients with retrodisplaced maxillae at the Clinic for Maxillo-Facial Surgery at the University of Zurich (Director: Prof. H. Obwegeser, M.D., D.M.D.). From this clinical material, 40 cases which were fully documented in respect of medical history, surgical treatment and speech behavior were selected, and the effect of the advancement of the maxilla on the individual ability to articulate was studied.
