2023年7月24日 · Craniofacial distraction osteogenesis is a technique to elongate the bones of the mandible, midface, and cranial vault. It is successful in treating a variety of conditions, including mandibular hypoplasia, midface hypoplasia, and craniosynostosis.

Distraction osteogenesis is a new variation of more traditional orthognathic surgical procedure for the correction of dentofacial deformities. It is most commonly used for the correction of more severe deformities and syndromes of both the maxilla and the mandible and can also be used in children at ages previously untreatable.

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) of the craniofacial skeleton has become an effective technique for the treatment of both nonsyndromic and syndromic conditions. The advent of craniofacial DO has allowed for earlier intervention in pediatric patients ...

Traditional orthognathic surgery is limited in being able to correct the anatomical anomalies at a young age and distraction of the craniofacial skeleton, as part of a staged approach, has been a most beneficial additional option for managing craniofacial deformities.

2023年7月24日 · Craniofacial distraction osteogenesis has proven extremely successful in treating a variety of both non-syndromic and syndromic patients with craniofacial abnormalities, providing both a cosmetic and functional result that is superior when compared to …

2001年4月1日 · Craniofacial DO has proven to be a major advance for the treatment of numerous congenital and acquired craniofacial deformities. Treatment protocols and success criteria for craniofacial DO are suggested on the basis of these results.

2016年1月1日 · Distraction osteogenesis of craniofacial skeleton has turned out to be popular as an alternative treatment option to many conventional orthognathic surgical procedures, and nowadays it is also extensively used in the field of oncology.

2020年12月17日 · Managing disorders of the craniofacial skeleton has been improved by the technique known as distraction osteogenesis (DO). In DO, new bone growth is stimulated allowing bones to be lengthened without need for bone graft.

2021年1月1日 · Distraction osteogenesis is a powerful tool to regenerate bone and thus address a number of craniofacial and appendicular skeletal deficiencies. The molecular mechanisms underlying bone regeneration, however, remain elusive.

Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical technique used to correct craniofacial anomalies by making a longer bone out of a shorter one. Conditions distraction osteogenesis is used to treat include mandibular hypoplasia; midface hypoplasia; craniosynostosis; Pierre Robin sequence; Apert, Crouzon, Pfeiffer syndromes; and cleft lip and palate .
