Material and Method 115 medical records of the dentofacial deformed patients treated during 1996-2001 were collected and analyzed. There were 46 males and 69 females, aged 16-45. The data were categorized into presurgical orthodontic treatment, types of dentofacial deformities, operative procedures, postoperative complications and duration of postoperative review.
