30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To provide an evidence-based review comparing the skeletal stability and complications of bilateral sagittal split osteotomies (BSSOs) and mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) in the treatment of mandibular hypoplasia. MATERIALS AND ... Read more...

Effects of recombinant human erythropoietin on mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

30 Oct 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of subcutaneous administration of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on regeneration formation and quality during mandibular distraction osteogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixteen adult male New Zealand ... Read more...

Comparison of bipartite versus tripartite osteotomy for maxillary transversal expansion using 3-dimensional preoperative and postexpansion computed tomography data.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate tripartite paramedian versus bipartite median osteotomy in surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Tripartite osteotomy was performed between the lateral incisors and canines at the former premaxillary junction to avoid ... 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.
