title: Post surgical modification of facial divergency in 40 patients with mandibular prognathism.
abstract: With a Le Fort type I and sagittal-bilateral surgery in a single time is usually impossible to solve problems of divergency and maxillary-mandibular prognathism in patients with tooth-skeletric III class. According to the Authors, in these patients, to plan an efficient surgical correction treatment, is suitable to analyse, before surgery, not only all data of maxillary-mandibular protrusion but also those of facial divergency.
