Abstract
The suprahyoid muscles have been implicated as primary effectors of relapse following surgical advancement of the deficient mandible. Accordingly, suprahyoid myotomy and/or the use of cervical collars have been recommended as adjunctive procedures to minimize postoperative relapse. This computerized morphometric evaluation of 16 patients revealed that suprahyoid myotomy is not essential to skeletal stability following surgical advancement of the mandible.
