Abstract:
The effect on distal molar occlusion following mandibular orthognathic surgery is highlighted. Two cases are presented in which at the completion of orthodontic/surgical treatment a stable molar occlusion was re-established by adjunctive restorative treatment. The clinical problem highlighted, illustrates the importance of restorative support for patients with residual post-orthodontic and post-surgical occlusal problems.
