Journal ArticleDOI
Mandibular widening by intraoral distraction osteogenesis
TL;DR: Distraction osteogenesis provided an efficient surgical alternative to orthognathic surgery for widening the mandible and treatment of transverse mandibular deficiency without extraction of teeth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term skeletal and dental effects of mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis
Marinho Del Santo,Cesar A. Guerrero,Peter H. Buschang,Jeryl D. English,Mikhail L. Samchukov,William H. Bell +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis increasedmandibular arch width and partially corrected dental crowding, with a potential for disproportionate distraction patterns and proclination of the mandibul incisors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distraction osteogenesis to widen the mandible
William H. Bell,William H. Bell,Richard P. Harper,Richard P. Harper,M. Gonzalez,M. Gonzalez,Alexander M. Cherkashin,Alexander M. Cherkashin,Mikhail L. Samchukov,Mikhail L. Samchukov +9 more
TL;DR: The location of the osteotomy site with an adequate margin of alveolar bone contiguous with the adjacent teeth was necessary for the induction of the distraction osteogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of electrical stimulation on mandibular distraction osteogenesis.
TL;DR: Results indicate that electrical stimulation during gradual distraction promotes new bone formation in the early retention period in a rabbit model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive changes in the temporomandibular joint after mandibular midline osteodistraction
Richard P. Harper,William H. Bell,William H. Bell,R.J. Hinton,R.J. Hinton,R. Browne,R. Browne,Alexander M. Cherkashin,Alexander M. Cherkashin,Mikhail L. Samchukov,Mikhail L. Samchukov +10 more
TL;DR: Histologic changes were seen to occur in the fibrous layer, cartilaginous layer and cartilage/bone interface, and the severity of these changes were correlated with the likely rotational forces directed at the condyle on the postero-lateral and antero-medial surfaces.
