Distraction Osteogenesis: Advanced Bone Lengthening Treatment at Dental Park
Distraction osteogenesis is a revolutionary surgical technique used to gradually lengthen and reshape bones in the jaw and face. At Dental Park, Dr. Aakash Arora, a highly experienced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, offers this advanced treatment to patients seeking to correct various craniofacial deformities and conditions.
What is Distraction Osteogenesis?
Distraction osteogenesis is a surgical procedure that involves slowly separating two bone segments to stimulate new bone growth in the gap
This technique harnesses the body’s natural bone regeneration capacity to reshape and lengthen bones, particularly in the jaw and facial area.
Types of Distraction Osteogenesis
Dr. Aakash Arora at Dental Park is proficient in performing various types of distraction osteogenesis procedures, including:
- Mandibular Distraction: Used to lengthen the lower jaw in cases of micrognathia or severe underbite.
- Maxillary Distraction: Employed to advance the upper jaw in patients with midface hypoplasia.
- Alveolar Distraction: Utilized to increase bone height in the dental ridge prior to implant placement.
- Cranial Vault Distraction: Applied in cases of craniosynostosis to expand the skull and relieve intracranial pressure.
The Distraction Osteogenesis Procedure
At Dental Park, Dr. Aakash Arora performs distraction osteogenesis using the following steps:
- Preoperative Planning: Careful assessment and planning to determine the distraction vector and device type.
- Surgical Phase: Under general anesthesia, Dr. Arora makes a precise bone cut (osteotomy) and places the distraction device.
- Latency Period: A 5-7 day waiting period allows initial bone healing.
- Distraction Phase: The device is gradually activated to separate the bone segments at a rate of about 1mm per day.
- Consolidation Phase: Once the desired length is achieved, the device remains in place for several weeks to allow bone consolidation.
- Device Removal: A minor procedure to remove the distraction device.
