The concept of Distraction Osteogenesis is applied in Maxillofacial surgery extensively in the recent past, revolutionizing the concept of management of facial deformities specially the mandible.
This article describes intra oral mandibular distractors in managing mandibular deformities in 9 cases.
Surgical intervention is possible in very young patients. Distraction Osteogenosis does not reduce the need for orthodontic intervention. A multifarious approach to the problem, should form the basis of treatment of mandibular deformities.
牵张成骨的概念最近在颌面外科中得到广泛应用,彻底改变了面部畸形尤其是下颌骨畸形的治疗理念。
本文描述了应用口内下颌骨牵张器治疗9例下颌骨畸形的情况。
对于非常年幼的患者也可以进行手术干预。牵张成骨并不能减少正畸干预的必要性。应对该问题采取多种方法,这应成为下颌骨畸形治疗的基础。
