[Mastication rehabilitation via dysgnathia surgery and simultaneous implantation]

Within the last 2 years 26 endosseous implants have been used in combination with orthognathic surgery in the maxilla and mandible. The results show, that endosseous implants can be used simultaneously with orthognathic surgery. This helps to treat dysfunctions often seen in partially edentulous patients that undergo orthognathic surgery and at the same time reduce the risk of relapse by achieving stable occlusion.
