(6) The material consisted of presurgical and 1-year postsurgical profile cephalograms of 52 adult orthognathic surgery patients (40 females and 12 males) who initially had mandibular prognathism and had undergone bilateral vertical ramus osteotomy through an extraoral incision in the retroangular area.
(7) Special attention is paid to the type of the ostectomy, and the arguments for this procedure are exemplified by the investigation of 75 patients in whom a surgical correction of mandibular prognathism was performed.
(8) A case of mandibular prognathism that existed 15 years after a previous attempt at correction has been presented.

(11) In the present article, a method of geometric correction of linear analysis of sagittal jaw relationship and jaw prognathism (based on a standardized occlusal plane) is described.
(12) The results of our investigations, therefore, demonstrate that after a resection of part of N. vagosympathicus peripheral to the ganglion nodosum on the right side two of the test dogs showed changes in the bite and in the position of teeth, a fan-shaped position of the incisors and canines, prognathism of the jaw including protrusion and changes in the parodont with some incisors becoming loose.
