title: [The value of projection genioplasty using silicone endoprostheses].
abstract: Use of a silicone menton endoprosthesis appears to be a seductive alternative to menton osteotomy for profile reconstructions of a certain type, whether pure or associated with orthognathic treatment. A strict surgical technique is essential, particularly a limited incision and median and low situated positioning. The advantages and inconveniences of this procedure are described and the need for very selective choice of patients emphasized.
