Transsutural Distraction Osteogenesis Versus Osteotemy Distraction Osteogenesis

Abstract

The technique of TSDO is effective, minimally invasive, and aesthetically optimal for early correction of midfacial hypoplasia of the growing children, and the technique of ODO can be used successfully for hypoplastic midface of the adults. The most postoperative retrusion appeared in the first 6 months, and no statistically significant retrusion occurred in growing patients.

Influence of Bone-Borne Trans-Sutural Distraction Osteogenesis Therapy on the Hard Palate of Growing Children With Cleft Lip and Palate

“…Furthermore, combined orthodontic and DO have been proven to be efficient in severe maxillary hypoplasia 14 . Recently, the technique of trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis (TSDO) has been used to treat severe forms of craniofacial deformities and has been reported to be effective for midface advancement, particularly in growing children with CLP 15–17 …”

“…14 Recently, the technique of trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis (TSDO) has been used to treat severe forms of craniofacial deformities and has been reported to be effective for midface advancement, particularly in growing children with CLP. [15][16][17] Midface anatomy and architecture are key aspects of TSDO. When a force is applied to the craniofacial skeleton, it usually produces a significant increase in the width of the sutures.…”
