Dear Colleague:

Welcome to the first volume of the Distraction Osteogenesis Interactive Course on CD-ROM. This is a comprehensive course that provides the definitions and classifications of distraction osteogenesis techniques and covers the most important aspects related to osteodistraction. Topics include the origins and evolution of craniofacial distraction osteogenesis, the biological basis of new bone formation under the influence of tensional stress, and biomechanical considerations of device orientation during distraction. The currently available extraoral and intraoral distraction appliances, osteotomy techniques, and distraction protocols are analyzed for mandibular lengthening, widening, bone transport, and alveolar ridge augmentation.

The library of case studies, collected from world-renowned experts in the field of distraction osteogenesis, illustrates the details of specific techniques along with the clinical results and potential complications.
