  • Title: Surgical-Orthodontic Considerations in Subcranial and Frontofacial Distraction.
    Author: Hopper RA, Kapadia H, Susarla SM.
    Journal: Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am; 2020 May; 32(2):309-320. PubMed ID: 32102742.
    Abstract:
    Subcranial and frontofacial distraction osteogenesis have emerged as powerful tools for management of hypoplasia involving the upper two-thirds of the face. The primary goal of subcranial or frontofacial distraction is to improve the orientation of the upper face and midface structures (frontal bone, orbitozygomatic complex, maxilla, nasal complex) relative to the cranial base, globes, and mandible. The various techniques used are tailored for management of specific phenotypic differences in facial position and may include segmental osteotomies, differential vectors, or synchronous maxillomandibular rotation.
