Abstract:
The return to the inter-arch ideal is an obligation and a prerequisite for the new surgical skeletal assembly. But it is rather difficult to preview either the possible orthodontic progress or the skeletal improvements that happens in 3D on two moving elements which themselves depend on a joint of which we know the delicacy.
In this context the subject that concerns us is the management of the assembly of the surgical puzzle and its stability postoperatively especially when a large expansion has been produced.
I will expose a protocol to achieve a functional occlusion and ideal postoperative through the use of a very precise interface provided with micrometric adjustment called ORTHOGNTOR and complementing admirably the Gallety articulator.
