The rationale for the surgical correction of skeletal anterior open-bite deformities by bilateral mandibular rotation osteotomy is presented. Results of this procedure in which rigid internal fixation is used are reported and show a very high degree of long-term stability. The procedure offers a useful alternative to the more common approach of posterior maxillary intrusion, which does not always address the cosmetic defect.
本文介绍了通过双侧下颌旋转截骨术手术矫正骨骼性前牙开颌畸形的理论依据。报告了采用坚固内固定的该手术的结果，显示出非常高的长期稳定性。该手术为更常见的上颌后份压低方法提供了一种有用的替代方案，后者并不总能解决美观缺陷问题。
