Modified animal model and computer-assisted approach for dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis to reconstruct unilateral maxillectomy defect.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to show the establishment of an animal model with a unilateral maxilla defect, application of virtual reality and rapid prototyping in the surgical planning for dentoalveolar distraction osteogenesis (DO). ... Read more...

Effects of transmandibular symphyseal distraction on teeth, bone, and temporomandibular joint.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of this clinical study was to investigate the clinical effects and long-term results of the transmandibular symphyseal distraction technique for the correction of mandibular transverse deficiencies. This was achieved by assessing ... Read more...

A simple mechanism for measuring and adjusting distraction forces during maxillary advancement.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Direct measurement of distraction forces on the craniofacial skeleton has never been reported. The present report describes the development of a method of assessing and adjusting traction forces applied through maxillary distraction ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Osteogenesis, Distraction'

Definition: Bone lengthening by gradual mechanical distraction. An external fixation device produces the distraction across the bone plate. The technique was originally applied to long bones but in recent years the method has been adapted for use with mandibular implants in maxillofacial surgery.
