Distraction Osteogenesis and its Implication in Oral and Maxillofacial Region – A Review.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis is a biologic process of new bone formation and regeneration along with surrounding soft tissue by a gradual traction of surgically osteomized bone segments. It is based on Ilizarov tension-stress principle. Clinical application of distraction osteogenesis varies and has wide application in oral and maxillofacial region in the correction of craniofacial defect. Clinical implication is affected by the tissue as well as distraction device related factors. The distraction devices can be placed either intraorally or extraorally. Distraction osteogenesis is an emerging field as an appropriate treatment modality and is replacing the conventional surgical treatment for congenital or acquired bone deformities. In this article, distraction osteogenesis is reviewed on the basis of classification, procedure of distraction and its implication.
