Abstract
|
|
|
The role of the chin has been emphasized as a balancing feature of face by Converse and others.
The patients who have deformities of mandible become introverts, acquire inferiority complexes, are morose and suffer mental anguish. Also they have functional disabilities including malocclusion, improper mastication and speech difficulties.
After Hullihen’s original mandibular osteotomy in 1849, various mandibular procedures were employed and these osteotomies are developed from unidirectional to tridimensional correction.
We obtained a good result by mandibular osteotomies for correction of jaw deformities.
