UNLABELLED: Orthognathic surgeries are very important for both the correction of dentofacial deformities as well as for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome. Nowadays, most of the population presents some type of morphological and/or functional disorder of the stomatognathic system. AIM: The present study aims at assessing the information from the individuals treated in the Orthognathic Surgical Service of a Medical School. METHODS: Search in medical records - 2004-2008, identification procedures, individual characteristics, malocclusion and surgery. RESULTS: The number of surgical treatments due to dentofacial deformities has been increasing. Maxillary advancement surgery alone comprised the highest number in the sample. CONCLUSION: Orthognathic surgery cases have been increasing in the last years and maxillary advancement alone comprised the highest number of surgical treatments.
