| Summary: | We describe along the guidelines of Kohn (Quantitative Estimates for Global Regularity. Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables, pp. 97–128. Trend Math. Birkhäuser, Boston,
1999
), the constant
E
s
which is needed to control the commutator of a totally real vector field
T

with
∂

in order to have

a-priori estimates for the Bergman projection

. This statement, not explicit in Kohn (Quantitative Estimates for Global Regularity. Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables, pp. 97–128. Trend Math. Birkhäuser, Boston,
1999
), yields regularity of
B
k
in specific Sobolev degree
s
. Next, we refine the pseudodifferential calculus at the boundary in order to relate, for a defining function
r
of
D
, the operators
(

and
(

. We are thus able to extend to general degree

of

, the conclusion of (Quantitative Estimates for Global Regularity. Analysis and Geometry in Several Complex Variables, pp. 97–128. Trend Math. Birkhäuser, Boston,

) which only holds for
