Angiogenesis During Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1999
Recruitment of a blood supply is critical for successful bone induction and fracture healing. Despite the clinical success of distraction osteogenesis (DO), an analysis of angiogenesis during membranous bone DO has not been performed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the temporal and spatial pattern of angiogenesis during mandibular DO.

The role of distraction osteogenesis in mandibular reconstruction

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2007
Distraction osteogenesis is finding increasing application in the management of mandibular defects. It provides an alternative method of mandibular reconstruction in varied clinical settings, notably following trauma and ablation of malignant tumors.

The overbite and intraoral mandibular distraction osteogenesis

Journal of Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, 2004
The purpose of this study was to quantify the overbite reduction in skeletal Angle Class II malocclusions and discuss the management of the overbite during and after intraoral distraction of the mandible, and during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.Cephalograms of 26 patients with an Angle Class II malocclusion and orthodontic appliances and

Mandibular Lengthening by Distraction Osteogenesis in the Setting of Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2015
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder characterized by bone fragility and deformity. The craniofacial skeleton may be involved either primarily or by result of a concomitant diagnosis. Distraction osteogenesis has emerged as a versatile reconstructive option for many craniofacial deformities.

Mandibular distraction osteogenesis for treatment of extreme mandibular hypoplasia

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2007
Distraction osteogenesis is an important option for the treatment of mandibular hypoplasia. This case report describes the treatment of a girl with mandibular hypoplasia and sleep apnea. She had a tracheostomy, followed by orthodontic treatment, including extraoral mandibular distraction osteogenesis to open the airway.

Mandibular Osteotomies and Distraction Osteogenesis

JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery, 2013
Although a number of mandibular and occlusal problems may be addressed by orthodontic treatment alone, dentofacial osteotomies are often needed to achieve desired functional or cosmetic results. With the increased popularity of mandibular distraction osteogenesis in recent years, the role of the facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon is crucial in ...

Neonatal mandibular distraction osteogenesis

Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2015
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is a surgical technique used in the management of tongue base obstruction in patients with micrognathia. Judicious and early application of this procedure has been shown to negate the need for tracheostomy and gastrostomy tube placement in select neonates with micrognathia and glossoptosis with and without cleft ...

Mandibular distraction osteogenesis: At what age to proceed

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2011
To evaluate if there is a difference in mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) treatment success rates and adverse outcomes in newborns, early infants, and older pediatric patients.Retrospective medical review spanning a nine-year period. Ten newborn (≤ 35 days old), five early infant (36 days-5 months) and eight older pediatric (> 5 months ...

Unexpected events during mandibular distraction osteogenesis

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2004
Various unexpected events during mandibular distraction osteogenesis are described in 16 syndromic children with severely retrognathic or asymmetric lower jaws who were treated with unilateral or bilateral extraoral distraction. The mean total time with the distraction devices attached was 14 weeks (range 10-19).

Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2009
Mandibular distraction is the treatment of choice for the surgical correction of mandibular hypoplasia of different etiology. It is a surgical technique that is less invasive and time intensive; also, it has a significantly decreased morbidity rate.The experience of lengthening mandibles in the last 17 years had shown that in more severe mandibular ...
