Indications for antibiotics in orthognathic surgery.
One hundred forty-eight cases of orthognathic surgery were evaluated for incidence of infection; 68 had antibiotic prophylaxis and 80 did not. Only three instances of infection occurred, all in the group that had received antibiotics. Results of this study disprove the necessity for routine prophylactic use of antibiotics in most types of orthognathic surgery.

Vestibuloplasty with skin grafting.
A review of 68 vestibuloplasties during a seven-year period indicated that there is no need for the routine use of either antibiotics or corticosteroids after vestibuloplasty for correction of an atrophic mandibular ridge. Vigorous massage after healing was beneficial. Improved tolerance and function of dentures were obtained in all instances. Paresthesia of the lower lip occurred in a significant number of patients.
