Synopsis

Distraction osteogenesis represents one of the most significant advancements in craniofacial and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry in the last several decades. This revolutionary technique has transformed the management of skeletal deformities, traumatic defects, congenital anomalies, and alveolar deficiencies by harnessing the body's intrinsic ability to generate new bone and adapt surrounding soft tissues through controlled mechanical distraction. The wealth of research and clinical experience gathered over the years underscores that distraction osteogenesis is not merely a surgical procedure but a dynamic biological process that demands a comprehensive understanding of biology, biomechanics, surgical technique, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Distraction osteogenesis has expanded the horizon of treatment options in oral and maxillofacial surgery and dentistry, particularly where traditional methods prove inadequate.
