Distraction osteogenesis for maxillary hypoplasia showed stable results initially. However, long-term analysis revealed decreased SNA/ANB angles and increased facial concavity, especially in adolescents due to ongoing facial growth.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Craniofacial Development and Growth

Background:

  • Maxillary hypoplasia presents significant challenges in craniofacial development.
  • Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical technique used to correct skeletal discrepancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term dentoskeletal changes following maxillary distraction osteogenesis.
  • To assess the stability and potential adverse effects of the procedure over time.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of cephalograms from 17 patients (aged 12-31) treated with rigid external distraction osteogenesis.
  • Evaluation of linear and angular measurements with follow-up periods of 1-5 years.

Main Results:

  • Initial maxillary stability was achieved in all patients post-distraction.

  • Two patients experienced non-consolidation of the Le Fort I segment.
  • Long-term follow-up showed a decrease in SNA and ANB angles and increased facial concavity.

    • Conclusions:

    • While distraction osteogenesis offers initial stability for maxillary advancement, ongoing facial growth can influence long-term outcomes.
    • Careful consideration of adolescent facial growth is crucial when planning maxillary distraction procedures.
