Abstract:
The authors describe a technique to improve skeletal contours of the deficient mandible with normal occlusion using alloplastic implants, often in combination with chin lengthening or shortening. Successful outcomes depend on knowledge of normal facial skeletal relationships, appropriately designed biocompatible implants, and facility with craniofacial techniques.
