  • Title: Total mandibular alveolar osteotomy in the management of skeletal (infantile) apertognathia.
    Author: MacIntosh R, Carlotti AE.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1975 Dec; 33(12):921-8. PubMed ID: 1104788.
    Abstract:
    When intraoral access is adequate and other physical characteristics are satisfactory, total mandibular alveolar osteotomy can be used effectively to correct skeletal (infantile) apertognathia. The procedure, not frequently used, resulted in significant improvement of a massive open bite in a 15-year-old girl.
