“…Patients with mandibular retrognathia can present at any age, and DO advocates suggest that there are earlier intervention possibilities with DO 13,29,36,41,49,63,73,84 . Early intervention offers the advantage of uninterrupted orthodontic treatment.…”

“…Early intervention offers the advantage of uninterrupted orthodontic treatment. According to the literature, both DO and BSSO are technically feasible in growing children and adolescent patients, although BSSO is slightly more complicated 11,13,24,29,41,[48][49][50]63,68,73,76,79,84,99,100 . As discussed before, basic dento-skeletal morphology is established at the age of 5 years in a Class II malocclusion; thereafter, surgical intervention with BSSO does not seem to influence the existing, harmonious, normal growth potential 24,76,79,100 .…”

“…Early correction may also have practical advantages concerning orthodontic treatment 10,24,63,79,99 . When compared with BSSO, it is often assumed that DO may offer the advantage of safe application for mandibular advancement in actively growing children 13,29,36,41,49,63,73 .…”

“…With regard to lengthening the mandible with intraoral distractors in teenagers, VAN STRIJEN et al 84 (14 children, 12.8-15.9 years, mean advancement 7.6 mm) and BREUNING et al 10,11 (26 children, 12.8-15.9 years, mean advancement 7.6 mm) reported that mandibular DO is an effective treatment, but possible post-surgical growth awaits further evaluation 11,84 . In syndromic patients, CARLS & SAILER 13 and HOLLIER et al 29 reported growth to continue after DO in very young children, but such data are lacking in non-syndromic patients.…”

Abstract. The NiTi shape memory alloy was covered with chitosan/silver layer. Coatings were deposited at room temperature using combination of processing parameters such as deposition voltage and amount of silver in colloidal suspension. Structure of layers was studied by means of X-ray diffraction. Quality of the coatings was evaluated basing on observations done in scanning electron microscopy. Transformation behaviour of coated samples was studied with use of differential scanning calorimeter. The covered sample revealed presence of the reversible martensitic transformation and ability to deformation (in bending mode) up to 8%. Forward martensitic transformation, in as-received NiTi alloy and in alloy after layer deposition occurred in two steps B2-R-B19'. After deformation quality of the chitosan/silver layer remained unchanged.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term benefits of mandibular distraction on sleep-related upper airway obstruction in young children with mandibular hypoplasia.Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects were examined for sleep-disordered breathing using medical history, physical examination results, and a written questionnaire. Subjects underwent standard overnight polysomnography, during which measures of sleepdisordered breathing were collected.Setting: Tertiary care hospital.Patients: Five children with upper airway obstruction from craniofacial anomalies treated with mandibular distraction, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months.Main Outcome Measures: Apnea-hypopnea index, oxygen saturation nadir, and peak end-tidal carbon dioxide value.Results: Of the 5 children, 3 were cured of upper airway obstruction as documented by polysomnography, with an apnea-hypopnea index of less than 1.5 and no snoring. The fourth child had primary snoring without apnea. The fifth child had severe obstructive sleep apnea, with an apnea-hypopnea index of 20.2.Conclusions: Most children who undergo mandibular distraction for upper airway obstruction associated with mandibular hypoplasia demonstrate significant clinical improvement of obstructive sleep apnea. However, those children who continue to have symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing after surgery should undergo polysomnography for evaluation of persistent obstructive sleep apnea.
