Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor of Mandible: Transport Distraction Osteogenesis
Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor of Mandible: Transport Distraction Osteogenesis
Keywords:
Transport distraction osteogenesis, Reconstruction, AOTAbstract
Transport distraction osteogenesis (TDO) may be defines as the biological process of new bone formation between the surfaces of bone segments that are gradually separated by incremental traction. Grafts, flaps, and synthetic materials have been used to reconstruct the mandible. Unfortunately, grafts and flaps result in added morbidity, and may be of limited availability. Synthetic materials generally retain the characteristics of a foreign body and fail to fully replace living tissues in appearance or function. TDO has been proposed as an alternate method of reconstruction, through which mandibular defects could be replaced by new bone grown from the remaining mandible. Transport distraction osteogenesis is a promising treatment for reconstructing the defect of the mandible.
