Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis in a Neonate

Archives of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, 1999
Children with craniofacial anomalies are predisposed to airway obstruction and frequently require airway intervention. Tracheotomy is performed when the airway obstruction is severe and refractory to other less invasive interventions. Tracheotomy is associated with significant morbidity, and there is a trend noted in the literature toward achieving ...

Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis in Children

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2005
Distraction osteogenesis is currently considered a useful treatment option for the correction of specific facial skeletal deformities. Although it is apparent that distraction may have significant potential and broader application in the management of maxillofacial problems, very few comprehensive scientific data exist, making it difficult to describe ...

Distraction osteogenesis for mandibular advancement

International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2000
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibilities of distraction osteogenesis to correct mandibular hypoplasia. Fourteen young patients (mean age 14.1 years) with a proven resistance to initial, functional orthodontic therapy, were treated by means of bilateral intraoral distractors. The corticotomy was performed in the region of the third
