The Impact of Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis on Cephalometric Measurements in Infants with Pierre Robin Sequence

CONCLUSIONS: The use of cephalometric measurement is a potent approach that provides a clear and measurable understanding of how MDO influences both immediate and long-term growth of the mandible. This quantitative assessment of the effects of mandibular distraction allows for the refinement of surgical techniques and the optimization of outcomes. Therefore, incorporating cephalometric measurements in the evaluation of patients undergoing MDO can lead to better surgical planning and more favorable results.PMID:38018222 | PMC:PMC10695098 | DOI:10.24546/0100485259
