Intraoral mandibular distraction osteogenesis

Seminars in Orthodontics, 1999
During recent years, distraction osteogenesis has gained in popularity for the treatment of various bone deficiencies either in the vertical, transverse, or anteroposterior dimension. Distraction osteogenesis has been shown to be an effective technique for mandibular widening and lengthening where traditional orthognathic surgery has important ...

Dental complications of the mandibular distraction osteogenesis

Stomatologiya, 2020
Was to reveal the prevalence of dental abnormalities in children after mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO).The study comprised 75 children aged 5-16 years (42 boys and 33 girls, mean age 9.8±4.2 years) who underwent MDO because of mandible underdevelopment associated with hemifacial microsomia (n=42), Robin syndrome (n=6), Treacher Collins ...

Complications of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2010
Mandibular hypoplasia, retrognathia, and micrognathia are commonly encountered problems in pediatric plastic surgery. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is a relatively simple technique that allows for correction of the deformity with minimal morbidity.

Mandibular distraction osteogenesis

Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2002
The purpose of this report is to present the application of distraction osteogenesis (DO) to the correction of mandibular deformities. DO is a technique used to lengthen bones after a cut is made within the bone and the segments are gradually separated, creating new bone between them.

Advancement of mandibular symphysis with distraction osteogenesis

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2009
This case report demonstrates the effects of mandibular symphysis advancement with distraction osteogenesis (DO) in a 21-year-old man with a Class I molar relationship, protrusive maxillary incisors, crowding in both arches, and increased overjet and overbite.

Effects of Simvastatin on Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2008
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of local and systemic simvastatin application on distraction osteogenesis.Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits underwent unilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis. After 7 days of neutral fixation, 0.4 mm twice per day, distraction was performed for 10 days. Simvastatin was applied locally during the

Spring-Mediated Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2003
Successful performance of distraction osteogenesis requires rigorous patient compliance with a daily activation regimen of a percutaneous screw. Previous clinical studies have found that failure of patient compliance with this regimen is the most common complication leading to technical failure of the distraction process.

A Mathematical Model for Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 1996
In this paper, we look at the mechanobiological processes involved in mandibular distraction and, as a first approximation, propose an elastoplastic uniaxial model.

Mandibular distraction osteogenesis in the pediatric patient

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 2008
To provide a concise review of recent advances in mandibular distraction osteogenesis as it applies to the field of pediatric otolaryngology.The successful use of mandibular distraction osteogenesis is becoming well established in the literature. Large case series with long-term follow-up are lending strong evidence in support of mandibular distraction

Mandibular widening by intraoral distraction osteogenesis

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1997
Transverse mandibular deficiency with crowding of the mandibular anterior teeth is frequently present in patients with Class I and II malocclusions. The hallmarks of treatment by compensating orthodontics, functional appliances or orthopaedic devices are instability, compromised periodontium and compromised facial aesthetics.
