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

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 ...

Update on mandibular distraction osteogenesis

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, 2014
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis has become one of the most powerful reconstructive tools for addressing congenital lower jaw deformities. This review will focus on clinical and basic science contributions to the literature in the last year, which have shown innovations in mandibular distraction osteogenesis techniques and advances in outcomes.The ...

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.

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.

Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Following Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2020
Abstract The authors present a rare case of anaplastic alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) occurring after Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis. A 16-month-old male presented with a rapidly enlarging left lower jaw mass after removal of mandibular distractors placed shortly after birth for Pierre Robin Sequence and severe ...

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 volumetric increase following distraction osteogenesis

Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2014
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) for the treatment of Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) enables mandibular lengthening and improves airway and feeding function. It remains unknown how the post-distracted mandibular volume compares to a normal control population.

Osteoclastogenic Activity during Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis

Journal of Dental Research, 2005
Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is a well-developed clinical modality for the treatment of craniofacial deformities and dental arch discrepancies, in combination with orthodontic treatment. However, in our previous study, orthodontic tooth movement into the distraction gap caused severe root resorption.

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 ...
