Treated Pierre Robin Sequence Using Placed Allogenic Acellular Bone Matrix and Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis in the Neonate.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of the study was to report our experience with placed allogenic acellular bone matrix and mandibular distraction osteogenesis in Pierre Robin sequence (PRS), and explore the role of distraction in the osteogenesis of acellular bone.

Materials and methods

A total of 428 neonates with severe PRS managed with placing allogenic acellular bone and bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis were included in the study. The procedure included using oblique-shaped osteotomy, fixing bilateral mandibular distractor, instantly extending a 4-6 mm gap, and placing allogenic acellular bone into the gap. The length of allogenic acellular bone was 4-5 mm. Although the surgical techniques, distraction, and consolidation periods were similar, the allogenic acellular bone m
