Distraction osteogenesis for correction of post ankylosis mandibular deformities

Temporomandibular joint ankylosis, a debilitating disease mainly affecting children, is characterized by progressive restriction of mouth opening and maxilla-mandibular developmental deformities. Craniofacial distraction osteogenesis has been developed as a standard surgical strategy for rectification of craniofacial deformities. The purpose of this study was to assess mono-planar distraction d...

Mandibular midline distraction osteogenesis.

In orthodontics, bone structure, its density and dimensions play an essential role by explaining limitations in magnitude, size and extent of tooth movement. Severe anterior crowding is one of the most frequently encountered dental malocclusions. Its therapy is mostly limited by lack of basal and alveolar bone and it often involves tooth extractions. Mandibular midline distraction osteogenesis ...

Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis: Upper Airway Management in Pierre Robin Sequence

Bilateral Distraction Osteogenesis for the Management of Mandibular Hypoplasia

Introduction: Patients with mandibular bilateral hypoplasia usually present with varying degrees of facial deformity, upper airway obstruction and difficulty with feeding. Treatment of such cases is very important. Distraction osteogenesis (DO) using intra and extra-oral devices provides an excellent alternative when other surgical techniques do not prove to be satisfactory. Aim of the Work: To...
