• Positional Changes in the Mandible after Distraction with MD-ROS - Medium-Term Results:
  Online Article from the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Online
  Maurice Y. Mommaerts, LDS, MD, DMD & Walter Jacobs, MD, LDS

Abstract. Eight consecutive cases of "orthognathic" mandibular hypoplasia, treated with MD-DOS were cephalometrically analysed for positional changes of points Pogonion and Menton, and for changes in overjet and overbite. After 8 months on average, relapse in the sagittal direction (overjet and Pogonion) was greater than in the vertical direction (overbite and Menton). Occlusal overcorrection and prolonged stabilisation are advised for.
