Abstract:
Two cases of myotonic muscular dystrophy manifested oro-facial disharmony and dento-labial dysfunction. Le Fort I osteotomy, sagittal osteotomy of the mandible, genioplasty and wedge excisions of the mucosa of the lower lip were performed on both patients. The desired results with regard to oro-facial appearance and dento-labial function were achieved in both patients after follow-up periods of six and twelve months.
