چکیده
The Transmandibular Distractor (TMD) is an intraoral expansion device for symphyseal widening by callus distraction. Its advantages include limited surgical exposure, skeletal anchorage, and expansion along the arch segment together with proportional and differential widening in the frontal plane.

For many years, surgeons have sought a method to treat severe facial deformities without using bone grafts and extensive surgery. Distraction osteogenesis offers this promise. The technique used in mandibular hypoplasia follows the basic principles proposed by Ilizarov which states that the device must be elongated 1 mm per day to create optimal bone production. Despite the widespread implement...

BACKGROUND Correction of a micro-orbit, caused by clinical anophthalmia is a very challenging task. In hemifacial microsomia a micro-orbit may be combined with hypoplasia of the malar and the ascending mandibular ramus. MATERIAL A 5-year-old patient with hemifacial microsomia is described. Hypoplasia of the malar bone and the tilted occlusal plane were corrected by means of intraoral distract...
