Abstract

In 113 patients orthognathic surgery was performed. Both maxillary, mandibular and combined procedures were used. Intermaxillary fixation was avoided in all cases. It was found that the procedures presented offer a safe correction of the jaw with minimal complications during surgery and in the postoperative period. Preliminary data suggest that the stability of the segment is in good accordance with procedures with intermaxillar fixation.
