[Maxillary hypoplasia, associated with prognathism, and its surgical management]

The author has proved by the examination of the lateral x-ray images of hundred patients with progenia that with 64% of the patients the front part of the maxilla alveolaris extension was mildly retarded in growth. The deviation can be measured by means of the Sella-Nasion-A angles used in the evaluation of the x-ray image. Such anomaly can be ceased by a simple autotransplantation suggested by the author, simultaneously with the surgical correction of the progenia. Hereby the aesthetic effect will be improved, more pleasant harmonic features can be formed.
