Abstract
CONCLUSION: Reconstruction of the TMJ has proved to be a challenging & complicated endeaver. Distraction osteogenesis has revolutionized surgical reconstruction with regards to head & neck region. Distraction osteogenesis allows for attainment of many of the goals needed for sucessful TMJ reconstruction. Distraction osteogenesis has proved to be safe & effective due to its unique advantages like low risk, decreased morbidity, simple manipulation, high curative rate , less relapse with stable results. Skeletal distractrion proceeds parallel to expansion of soft tissues, thereby accheiving better aesthetic results. This proves it to be superior to other reconstructive procedures. Distraction osteogenesis is being a sensitive procedure, requires careful planning & execution following the vector principle. Patient compliance during the entire treatment period is essential & thus careful patient selection & adequate motivation is of utmost importance. Although number of cases & period of followup is minimal in our study, this technique of using Indigeniously designed Internal distraction device for reconstruction of TMJ has shown good results among the study group. We conclude by saying that Distraction osteogenesis can be considered as an effective treatment of choice for reconstruction of TMJ. However to know the long term effects of distraction, periodic followup is essential.
