“…It is reported that distraction osteogenesis offers many advantages over other more traditional surgical techniques. It has been shown that it can shorten the admission and operation time, the risks of surgery, and the possibility of relapse (McCarthy et al, 1999). Above all, the direction and amount of bony lengthening can be controlled, and soft tissues as well as hard tissues can be lengthened (McCarthy et al, 1992), resulting not only in expansion of the mandibular bony tissue but also in proportional and harmonic modification of the muscles and the surrounding soft tissues (McCormick et al, 1995).…”

Introduction: Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is a gradually developing condition manifested by mandibular hypomobility. Limitation of mouth opening can be caused by bony or fibrous ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint as sequel to trauma, infection, and autoimmune diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of temporomandibular joint ankylosis in various age groups and to see the etiology of temporomandibular joint ankylosis. Females predominate with 35 (58.30%). Age ranged from 4 to 36 years and 11-20 years (60%) group predominating. In unilateral cases, left side involvement was more common in both males and females. TMJ ankylosis was post traumatic in 47(78.3%) cases followed by infection 7(11.7%) while birth trauma 2(3.3%) was rare. RTA was seen to the most frequent etiological factor followed by the fall. Conclusions: Temporomandibular joint ankylosis is a preventive entity if posttraumatic rehabilitation is instituted early and properly.

“…One of the recent advances in the field of maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics is distraction osteogenesis of mandible and midfacial skeleton. Distraction osteogenesis of the mandible is still an emerging technique, and there are many areas associated with this procedure that require better understanding [4,5]. Distraction devices are available in wide range and variety [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Introduction The aim of this research was to evaluate the level of satisfaction of patients who were undergoing distraction osteogenesis of mandible with extraoral distraction appliance. Material and Methods The prospective study was performed on 13 patients with facio-mandibular deformity reporting to the Oral Health Sciences Center, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India, who required surgical and orthodontic intervention for correction. A standardized multiple choice questionnaire was provided to all patients at 3 stages of treatment i.e. during predistraction, distraction and post distraction period. Results Predistraction evaluation showed that the main reason for patients to seek treatment was lack of facial esthetics and all of them were sure that there would be a change in their lives after they underwent this treatment procedure. During distraction phase the most common complaint was pain. None of the patients felt that they were suffering during active distraction phase and all felt that they made the right decision. In post distraction phase, all patients were satisfied with the treatment and felt that the treatment was worth it. Twelve out of 13 patients would recommend treatment to others without any hesitation. Conclusion Our study concludes that distraction osteogenesis of the mandible with extra-oral appliances is acceptable to patients, and improved facial appearance is a positive influence. The appliance and results of the procedure are socially accepted and appreciated.
