title: [Psychological effect of corrective surgery in female patients with structural and functional abnormalities of the jaws].
abstract: 20 young women (16 to 31 years of age) who underwent orthognatic surgery between 1979 and 1984 were subjected to an evaluation of their dental, orthognatic and psychological catamneses. The psychological results concerning operation motivation, preoperative stress and information, early postoperative condition and subjective assessment of the operative result are reported and discussed. Proposals are made to improve pre- and postoperative treatment of these patients.
