title: Modified intraoral maxillo-malar osteotomy: long-term results in 16 consecutive cases.
abstract: The authors report their experience with sixteen consecutive cases of maxillo-malar osteotomy via an intraoral approach. Some technical expedients and modifications to the original technique are described here. This procedure was associated in all cases with bilateral sagittal splitting of the mandible and in two cases with vertical reduction of the chin. Results from this series confirm the reliability of this technique and the stability of functional and aesthetic results.
