Skeletal and dental changes after surgical correction of mandibular prognathism.
Fifty cases of surgically corrected mandibular prognathism have been followed up and analyzed cephalometrically. This anatomy of relapse of the proximal and distal segments is described, as well as changes in the axial inclinations of the incisors. The physiopathology that may explain these spatial changes is advanced.
