Abstract
This paper aims to discuss orthognathic surgery in a precocious edentulous patient as a viable alternative treatment. The present article is a case report of a total edentulous patient 32 years ago, with a double denture and dentofacial deformity, aggravated due to the early loss of teeth. Orthognathic surgery is a procedure that has been gaining more and more space in the specialty of maxillofacial surgery and traumatology because it is currently more accessible to patients due to the reduction in surgery costs and the greater number of surgeons who perform it, among others. The vast majority of patients who undergo this surgery are young adults. However, age does not impede orthognathic performance, older patients prefer other types of treatment due to its morbidity. Orthognathic surgery is a viable and highly predictable treatment in cases of prosthetic rehabilitation of totally edentulous patients.
