We examined the articulation in 41 patients before and after facial osteotomies to correct occlusal defects. Both dental occlusion and articulation improved significantly after surgery. Before surgery there was a direct relationship between the degree of prognathia and the severity of the articulation defect; after surgery in the patients with retrognathia there was a direct relationship between the decrease in the occlusion defect. For other types of occlusal defect these relationship were not established.
我们检查了41例接受面部截骨术以矫正咬合缺陷的患者手术前后的关节情况。术后牙齿咬合和关节情况均有显著改善。术前，下颌前突程度与关节缺陷严重程度之间存在直接关系；术后，对于下颌后缩患者，咬合缺陷的减少与之存在直接关系。对于其他类型的咬合缺陷，未确立此类关系。
