[Clinical experience in surgical-orthodontic treatment of patients with anterior skeletal open-bite].

After a short clinical classification of the various open-bite types, the Authors describe from the clinical and cephalometric point of view the main structural alterations responsible for the skeletal open-bite. Then they consider the orthodontic problems in the orthodontic surgical treatment of the skeletal open-bite. Finally they describe the combined orthodontic surgical treatment in two anterior skeletal open-bite clinical cases.
