[Correction of facial disharmony using mandibular bone grafts].
The case of a patient affected by maxillary retrognathism associated with mandibular prognathism, is described. The patient was operated in our service after being studied in the multidisciplinary clinics. It is determined to use a mandibular bone graft in order to make use of the same surgical area, avoiding, in that way, maxillary retrodisplacement and additional aggressions to the patients, which should be caused by the act of taking a fragment of the crest of the iliac bone. The patient presents a wholly favorable evolution.
