[Experience with combined maxillary and mandibular osteotomies].
Possibilities are discussed to achieve useful results for both alveolar ridges by combining standard procedures of orthopedic surgery used for single jaw operations. The 8 patients were not routine cases. The indications were based on several different reasons. 3 patients first got orthodontic treatment followed by surgery. In the other five cases orthodontics had been impossible for various reasons. All cases were treated with single stage procedures and did not relapse.
