Distraction osteogenesis successfully regenerated segmental mandibular defects in a canine model, filling 2.5-cm gaps in 25 days. This innovative technique shows promise for mandibular bone regeneration.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is established for long bone regeneration.
  • Segmental mandibular regeneration using DO has not been previously reported.
  • Previous studies focused on mandibular lengthening, not segmental defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of bifocal distraction osteogenesis for segmental mandibular regeneration in a canine model.
  • To evaluate the quality and functional recovery of regenerated mandibular bone.
  • To establish a foundation for clinical application of DO in mandibular reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of 2.5-cm segmental mandibular defects in canines.
  • Application of bifocal distraction osteogenesis at a rate of 1.0 mm/day.

  • Radiographic, angiographic, and histological evaluation of regenerate bone.
  • Functional assessment of oromandibular function post-regeneration.

    • Main Results:

    • Complete filling of segmental defects with regenerate bone within 25 days.
    • Regenerate bone segments achieved diameters comparable to native mandible.
    • All animals regained normal oromandibular function.
    • Control defects without DO failed to regenerate.

    Conclusions:

    • Bifocal distraction osteogenesis is a viable method for segmental mandibular regeneration.
    • The technique yields bone of sufficient quality and volume for functional recovery.
    • DO offers a promising approach for reconstructing large mandibular defects.
