Abstract
Procedures used in the correction of certain forms of mandibular prognathism are described. All but one of these techniques allow an immediate functional healing, which is considered to be most important. Since no single procedure can correct all the different forms of mandibular prognathism, each case is individually planned and a "custom-tailored" technique is applied.
