The Molecular and Cellular Events That Take Place during Craniofacial Distraction Osteogenesis
Summary: Gradual bone lengthening using distraction osteogenesis principles is the gold standard for the treatment of hypoplastic facial bones. However, the long treatment time is a major disadvantage of the lengthening procedures.
