title: [Pediatric orthognathic surgery (Statistical study)].
abstract: A statistical study covering five years (1983-1987) of work by the Pediatric Orthognatic Surgery Clinic at pediatric hospitals in the Centro Médico Nacional and La Raza, Instituto Nacional del Seguro Social. The bases and rationale followed by the clinic to correct dentofacial deformities in patients under 15 are described, along with services involved and surgical procedures followed in 90 pediatric patients, as compared with 165 adult patients operated within that same period, favorably confirming the hypothesis propounded in practice.
