[The possibilities for surgical correction of dentoalveolar adaptations within skeletal repositioning osteotomy].
In the combined surgical orthodontic treatment the essential task is to eliminate the dentoalveolar adaptations of maxillofacial disorders. Additional segmental osteotomies can be considered if these adaptations are excessive or if complications are to be expected during the orthodontic treatment. Possibilities and indications as well as complications and limits of this approach are described.
