[The role of osteotomy in the treatment of incisor infraclusion in adults].
The author emphasises the need for aetiological diagnosis in incisor infra-alveolisms. Treatment must take into account the cause of the deformity (interposition of the tongue) which must be corrected by rehabilitation, more often than by surgery. In the greatest number of cases, this type of deformity may disappear with simple rehabilitation. Wassmund osteotomy is reserved for failures of rehabilitation.
