Sutures are soft connective tissue articulations between craniofacial bones. Suture
mechanics deals with patterns of mechanical stress experienced in sutures resulting from …

In this study the literature dealing with experimental cranio-facial distraction osteogenesis
(DO) was reviewed. A PUBMED search (National Library of Medicine [NCBI] revised 1 April …

Objective It was hypothesized that, through a repetitive weekly protocol of Alternate Rapid
Maxillary Expansions and Constrictions (Alt-RAMEC), the maxilla in cleft patients could be …

The effective maxillary orthopedic protraction is an innovative technique for maxillary
protraction in Class III growing patients. It includes three components: a new 2-hinged rapid …

It is widely believed that rapid growth of the human brain generates tensile strain in cranial
sutures, and that this strain influences the rate of bone deposition at the sutural margins …

Objective. Patients with a skeletal Class III malocclusion and maxillary deficiency can be
treated successfully using a combined protraction facemask and maxillary expansion …

A series of experimental studies on sutural expansion osteogenesis for management of the
bony-tissue defect in cleft palate repair was performed between 1995 and 1997. Forty-five …

PURPOSE: The previous decade has witnessed increasing emphasis on the technique of
trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis (TSDO), a new and challenging procedure to …

Background Studies on the applications of bone transport using the Ilizarov method for
osteosarcoma (OS) patients with surgical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy are rare …

Introduction It was the aim of the study to assess the efficacy of the hemi one-piece
distraction osteogenesis and to compare it to the traditional one-piece distraction …
