  • Title: Correction of the short-face syndrome-vertical maxillary deficiency: a preliminary report.
    Author: Bell WH.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1977 Feb; 35(2):110-20. PubMed ID: 319209.
    Abstract:
    Careful clinical studies and cephalometric and model analyses are required in the planning for treatment of vertical maxillary deficiency. The maxilla is repositioned inferiorly to elongate the face and to achieve facial balance. Simultaneous Le Fort I osteotomy with bone grafting is a helpful adjunct in the treatment of vertical maxillary deficiency in either dentulous or edentulous patients.
