  • Title: Changes in the inferior alveolar nerve following mandibular lengthening in the dog using distraction osteogenesis.
    Author: Block MS, Daire J, Stover J, Matthews M.
    Journal: J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 1993 Jun; 51(6):652-60. PubMed ID: 8492203.
    Abstract:
    Distraction osteogenesis as per Ilizarov was used to lengthen the canine mandible. In this study, physiological and ultrastructural examination of the inferior nerve was performed. Mandibular body corticotomies were performed, and the mandible was distracted 7 mm. The animals were killed 4 weeks after the distraction was completed. Bone formed within the distraction gap in all dogs. There was no statistically significant difference in the jaw-jerk voltage between control and experimental sides. There was a significant difference between the distracted and control nerves in only one area of one nerve.
