Abstract

Introduction

Transport distraction osteogenesis (TDO) is a novel reconstructive modality for mandibular ablative defects, precluding donor site morbidity. Assessing of TDO regenerate that could assist in modifying the distraction strategy for patient specific needs.

Materials and Methods

Present study enrolled 17 patients with mandibular defects of size < 12 cm, divided in two groups ≤35 years (A) and > 35 years (B); and assessed the TDO regenerate by clinically examining intra as well as post operatively, using orthopantomogram (OPG), ultrasonography (USG), color Doppler (CD) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Results

Group B had a longer latency period (p = 0.001) and consolidation period (p = 0.002) than group A. Paired sample correlation study of clinical defect and TDO regenerate (p 0.004) indicate that a better length of regenerate is possible with TDO in mandibular defects. OPG, USG and CBCT shown a significant difference in bone mineralization observed within different age groups except for CD. USG representing earlier detection of mineralization than OPG over the consolidation period.

Conclusion

Use of TDO for reconstruction of mandibular defects is advantageous as the regenerated bone and soft tissues matches the existing anatomical tissues. Evaluation by USG, OPG and CBCT could aid in providing patient specific protocols for TDO in Maxillofacial region.
