Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Craniofacial Reconstruction

Background:

  • Osseous distraction is increasingly vital in maxillofacial surgery for malformations and bone deficit correction.
  • It serves as an alternative or adjunct to conventional surgery, applicable from early childhood.
  • Distraction offers higher bone regeneration levels than traditional orthopedic or surgical methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the versatility and efficacy of osseous distraction in maxillofacial surgery.
  • To underscore its application in diverse conditions, including trauma, oncologic defects, and congenital anomalies.
  • To emphasize the growing integration of distraction with orthodontic treatments for comprehensive craniofacial rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Application of distraction protocols for various maxillofacial and craniofacial skeletal discrepancies.
