Abstract
Distraction osteogenesis is a novel clinical technique aimed at generating bone and associated soft tissue by incremental separation of the surgically separated bone segments. The technique has gained increasing popularity in managing severe dento-facial deformity since its application to the maxillo-facial region was first described. This article will provide an overview of the history of the technique, the biological basis of distraction osteogenesis, and its clinical application in the maxillo-facial skeleton.
