Advanced transport distraction technique for jaw reconstruction

29/9/2014

0 Comments

 
Portions of the jaw bone can be lost due to tumors, infections, accident injuries or other diseases. One of the advanced techniques for jaw reconstruction is transport distraction.

In this, the remaining normal jaw bone is cut and a device called transport distractor is fixed. The screw attached to the distractor is turned about 1 mm per day which pushes the bone segments apart and new, healthy bone is formed in the resultant gap. Maxillofacial surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji achieves immense success in the complete reconstruction of jaw using this technology.

The overgrowth of the lower jaw (mandible) causes a “long face”.  Disproportionate jaws may cause problems in speaking, biting, chewing, swallowing and breathing, undue stress on the jaw joint (TMJ) and facial muscles, and also affects facial appearance.

Obwegeser’s bilateral sagittal split osteotomy is done to surgically reduce excess bone in the lower jaw and create more balanced facial features. Results are immediate and there is no scarring as the procedure is done inside the mouth.

When the appearance is enhanced, it also boosts self esteem. Such surgeries hold the key for youngsters who go through a lot of psychological stress over their facial appearance.
