Mandibular Mechanics Following Osteotomy and Distraction Appliance Placement: I. Postoperative Mobility of the Osteotomy Site

PURPOSE: Fixation at the osteotomy site for mandibular distraction osteogenesis (DO) is probably not rigid, especially during mastication. Micromotion may affect the course of DO. This study aimed to measure the mobility of the fresh distractor-fixed osteotomy site in response to mastication and mas...
