Ag. Becking et Db. Tuinzing, CORRECTION OF POSTTRAUMATIC ASYMMETRY BY MANDIBULAR ANGLE REDUCTION -REPORT OF 2 CASES, British journal of oral & maxillofacial surgery, 36(1), 1998, pp. 67-70
We present two patients with post-traumatic mandibular asymmetry, caus
ed by flaring of a fragment containing the mandibular angle in between
two fractures, No occlusal disturbance was evident in either case, In
stead of refracturing or ramus osteotomies, the asymmetry was correcte
d by transoral ostectomy of the mandibular angle with good aesthetic r
esults.
