Abstract
Varying amounts of skeletal relapse have been reported following the surgical correction of dentofacial deformities by Le Fort I osteotomy.
Modified Le Fort I osteotomy was introduced to reduce relapse. This procedure was designed by Kaminishi to enhance stability and provide a more solid bony base for rigid skeletal fixation of the mobilized segment.
Two of our cases are presented in this study. This modification has given us greater control and stability, especially in combined maxillary and mandibular osteotomies.
