Facial asymmetries often presents maxillary and mandibular involvement.

Abstract
Facial asymmetries often presents maxillary and mandibular involvement. The surgical repositioning of the maxilla in three planes of space is a must that guarantees the achievement of good function and skeletal symmetry. The Authors, looking for a more precise and correct way to quantify the maxillary movements, suggest to use an acrylic splint that guarantees the reproduction of the skeletal movements decided during the treatment planning procedures. The technique proposed, that is based on a very precise work during the model surgery, offers, as reported by the authors, good results and a significant reduction in surgery time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
