Summary

Distraction osteogenesis reshapes bone by creating stress, enabling bone lengthening. This technique, successful in orthopaedics, is now applied in maxillo-facial surgery for dental and orthodontic corrections.

Complications in alveolar distraction osteogenesis of the atrophic mandible.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials Engineering

Context:

  • Distraction osteogenesis, initially used in orthopaedics, has advanced with intra-oral devices.
  • This technique allows for controlled bone lengthening through a surgically created fracture line.
  • Its application has expanded into correcting complex maxillo-facial and dental deformities.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of intra-oral distraction osteogenesis in maxillo-facial surgery.
  • To explore its application in correcting orthodontic and dental issues, including Class II-1 malocclusion.
  • To establish distraction osteogenesis as a viable reconstructive method in the craniofacial region.

Summary:

  • Bone reshaping is achieved via distraction osteogenesis (callus distraction) by applying stress to an iatrogenic fracture.

  • Intra-oral distractors facilitate its use in maxillo-facial surgery, starting adjustments typically on the fifth post-operative day.
  • A daily distraction rate of 1 mm is achievable with twice-daily adjustments, correcting both congenital and acquired deformities, including Class II-1 malocclusion.

    • Impact:

    • Distraction osteogenesis offers a minimally invasive approach to significant bone reconstruction in the craniofacial skeleton.
    • It provides a predictable method for correcting deformities, improving both function and aesthetics.
    • The technique holds promise for a wide range of applications in treating complex dental and orthodontic problems.
