title: [Fundamentals of medical rehabilitation of patients with asymmetrical deformation of the maxilla complicated by cross occlusion].
abstract: The problem of medical rehabilitation of patients with asymmetrical deformation of the facial skull, complicated by cross occlusion, is discussed. The authors suggest osteotomy of the maxillary complex with translocation of the osteotomied fragment in the sagittal, transverse, and vertical planes with osteotomy to a distance needed for elimination of deep cross occlusion. This method in combination with orthodontic treatment repairs the anatomic and functional abnormalities and brings about good esthetic results.
