Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) has become a reliable technique for correcting craniofacial deformities by skeletal expansion. Osteotomies and devices used for mandibular DO are often adjacent to developing or erupted teeth which can be displaced and/or damaged.1 Few studies specifically characterize the effects of mandibular DO on the dentition. In addition, controversy exists as to whether the distracted mandible continues to grow.2 The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of mandibular DO on the dentition and on subsequent mandibular growth in children.
