Area of Science:

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Biomedical Engineering
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) is an emerging technique for skeletal reconstruction in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Manual DO devices have demonstrated efficacy, but limitations exist for continuous force application.
Current automatic DO devices have not yet been optimized for human clinical use in mandibular reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the limitations of existing DO devices for mandibular reconstruction.
To propose and evaluate a novel two-axis continuous distractor for enhanced skeletal reconstruction.
To provide an ideal continuous DO device for various mandibular reconstruction applications.

Main Methods:

Development of a two-axis continuous distractor capable of generating two independent distraction forces.
Implementation of a control system with high positioning accuracy and resolution.
Testing the device's ability to perform standard distraction processes with predetermined factors.

Main Results:

The proposed distractor can generate two continuous distraction forces along independent vectors.
The control system ensures precise positioning of intra-oral end effectors.
The device successfully applies continuous forces for controlled bone segment movement.

Conclusions:

The developed two-axis continuous distractor meets current requirements for mandibular reconstruction.
This device represents a significant advancement towards an ideal continuous DO system.
The proposed distractor has the potential for widespread use in diverse mandibular reconstruction scenarios.
