    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Unifocal bone regeneration using distraction osteogenesis is a feasible technique for craniofacial surgery. This method aids in correcting deformities and balancing the facial skeleton with orthodontic support.

    Area of Science:

    • Craniofacial surgery
    • Orthodontic surgery
    • Bone regeneration

    Background:

    • Distraction osteogenesis is an established technique for correcting congenital and acquired deformities.
    • Unifocal bone generation offers a simplified approach within craniofacial surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the feasibility of unifocal bone generation in craniofacial surgery.
    • To present a simplified technique for distraction osteogenesis in the craniofacial region.

    Main Methods:

    • Reorientation of the distraction apparatus for simplified use.
    • Gradual distraction performed over a specified period.
    • Integration of orthodontic elastics to achieve occlusal balance.

    Main Results:
