In this study the literature dealing with experimental cranio-facial distraction osteogenesis
(DO) was reviewed. A PUBMED search (National Library of Medicine [NCBI] revised 1 April …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the newly formed bone during the consolidation
period of mandibular osteodistraction using quantitative histology. Seventeen skeletally …

The use of distraction osteogenesis in the hypoplastic maxilla and midface is still
controversial. Since the beginning of 1998, 25 patients have been treated with …

Abstract. Distraction osteogenesis offers an alternative approach for the correction of
craniofacial deformities, yet little substantive data is available regarding mineralization of the …

The use of distraction osteogenesis offers an alternative approach to the correction of
craniofacial deformities. However, little is known with respect to the appropriate length of the …

Purpose: In vitro data were collected to measure torque-force values of an internal
distraction device. The measurements were correlated with in vivo torque readings in an …

Introduction: Craniofacial distraction osteogenesis is an established surgical procedure to
correct bony malformations. Force transduction through the osteotomized bone fragments …

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea is often associated with congenital craniofacial
malformations due to hypoplastic mandible and decreased pharyngeal airway. In this study …

The purpose of this pilot study was to experimentally evaluate tooth movement through
regenerate bone at an early time point during the consolidation phase after bilateral …

Background: No study has systematically evaluated the effect of distraction osteogenesis on
