Damage to the dentition or tooth follicle is often cited as a potential complication of Distraction Osteogenesis (DO). The authors describe a case of a dentigerous cyst that developed following DO of the mandible. The possible histogenic mechanisms and the management are outlined. Understanding the causes of dentigerous cysts as well as the anatomy of the neonatal mandible may help avoid such a complication in the future.
牙列或牙囊损伤常被认为是牵张成骨术(DO)的一种潜在并发症。作者描述了一例下颌骨牵张成骨术后发生含牙囊肿的病例。概述了可能的组织发生机制及处理方法。了解含牙囊肿的病因以及新生儿下颌骨的解剖结构可能有助于今后避免此类并发症。
