Distraction Osteogenesis: Evolution and Contemporary Applications in Orthodontics
Journal of Research and Practice in Dentistry
Orthodontic tooth movement is brought about by the biomechanical utilization of the physiological mechanisms for bone remodeling in order to achieve optimal occlusion and thereby maximize the esthetic outcome. Distraction osteogenesis is a biomechanical process of bone tissue formation, where the distraction forces which act…
