This study was to evaluate the result of correcting the unfavourable intermaxillary relationship with orthognathic surgery in the partial edentulous area and simultaneous implant. 9 cases with jaw discrepency underwent orthognathic surgery for correcting the intermaxillary relationship and simultaneous implant surgery. The orthognathic operations were Le Fort I osteotomy with mandibular SSRO in 3 cases; simple mandibular SSRO in one case, subapical osteotomy of mandibular front area in 4 case; posterior maxillary osteotomy in one case, 25 implants were simultaneously placed in the edentulos and partial edentulos area. Result showed all 9 cases got the normal intermaxillary relationship post-operation, and implant prosthesis 8 months later, 3 cases with implant supported partial denture, one case with implant supported overdenture, 5 cases with ceramic crowns. Follow-up means 11 months, no implant lost. Base on this work, the authors believe combining orthognathic surgery and implant surgery is a feasible and reliable method in correcting unfavourable intermaxillary relationship in the implant related area for indicated patients.
