  • Title: Changing skeletal pattern by means of osteogenesis distraction: a new therapeutic approach to patients with dysmorphism.
    Author: Robiony M, Tenani G, Bocchino T, Cengarle M.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2010 Sep; 21(5):1608-10. PubMed ID: 20818251.
    Abstract:
    The correction of class II high-angle open-bite in patients is difficult to achieve by traditional and conventional techniques in occlusal stability and function. The authors propose a new approach to a patient with dysmorphism (class II, short ramus, and open bite) using distraction osteogenesis to change the skeletal pattern of patients with high-angle class II to low-angle class III before undergoing traditional orthognathic surgery. This new approach is based on osteogenesis distraction, emphasizing planning and surgical procedures.
