VILA MORALES, Dadonim e GARMENDIA HERNANDEZ, Georgina. OSTEOGENESIS BY MAXILLOMANDIBULAR SKELETAL DISTRACTION: ANALYSIS OF THIS NOVEL THERAPEUTICS. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2005, vol.42, n.1. ISSN 0034-7507.
The process of generation of a new bone by lengthening the osteal callus is called osteogenesis by distraction. This process is also applied to bones of the craniofacial skeleton and, specially, to the mandible to treat mandibular defects appearing in different syndromes, such as Treacher Collins, hemifacial microsomy, Pierre Robins, obstructive sleeping apnea, and other deformities secondary to ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint and traumas. A bibliographic review of the topic was made. Our study of 45 series published showed that the extraoral was the most used type of distractor, that the mandible was the most treated bone, that only 4.4 % of the authors conduct cephalometric studies to evaluate the results, and that partial avulsion of the pins, pain in the TMA and limitation to open the mouth were the most frequent complications.
