Selective osteogenesis distraction at the level of mandibular body in patients with facial asymmetry and
dento-alveolar discrepancy
María del Carmen Navas-Aparicio
Hospital Nacional de Niños, Costa Rica
Osteogenesis distraction is a surgical procedure that allows the correction of the bone deficiency in all craniofacial
areas, since it is a versatile alternative that can be adjusted to the patient´s need. Cases of children with bone
deficiency at the level of mandibular body who underwent surgery based on selective osteogenesis distraction will
be presented, in order to achieve facial symmetry and new bone to favour tooth eruption and alignment, in order to
improve the quality of life.
It is important to know, that today osteogenesis distraction is a treatment option, either as an intermediate or final
procedure, in those cases in which there is a bone deficiency in a growing child, which implies that the analysis of the
case and the surgical plan are important, to obtain the best results for the patient.
