Distraction osteogenesis offers potential for correcting facial bone deformities. This review explores its biological basis, applications, and surgical techniques for mandibular lengthening in children.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Pediatric Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Distraction osteogenesis is a recognized treatment for craniofacial skeletal deformities.
  • Its full potential in maxillofacial reconstruction remains underexplored due to limited comprehensive data.
  • Understanding its role is crucial for oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the biological principles underlying distraction osteogenesis.
  • To explore potential applications of distraction osteogenesis in maxillofacial surgery.
  • To summarize current surgical approaches for mandibular distraction in pediatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of distraction osteogenesis.
  • Analysis of biological mechanisms.
