Lengthening of mandibular body by gradual surgical-orthodontic distraction.

Lengthening of the mandibular body in two dogs was achieved with a technique that involved osteotomies and the use of an experimental orthodontic appliance; the approximation of the resected mandibular segments was maintained. There was no damage to the mandibular nerve and no conspicuous alterations of the nerve fibers. On the basis of results in experimental studies, the technique is proposed for use in correction of large discrepancies in length in persons with excessive mandibular retrusion.

[Controlled gradual lengthening of the mandible after osteotomy].

The procedures used to correct large discrepancies in the length of the mandibular body are described and experimental results are reported. The technique is realized using an orthodontic applicance that permits the progressive lengthening, after osteotomy of the mandibular body and also retains the approximation of the resected mandibular segments. Two dogs were used for the experimentation, achieving mandibular body lengthening of 5 and 15 millimeters. The bone neoformation was studied hystologically by means of microradiography and tetracyclines induced fluorescence. The surgical technique was carried out without damage to the mandibular nerve. The hystological examination shows no conspicous alteration of the nerve fibres.

[Karyotype studies in cases of hereditary hypodontia].

The Authors examined 22 families (including 67 individuals) in whose components one or more teeth were found to be congenitally missing. The morphological characteristics of the chromosomes were analyzed with the technique of Moorhead to observe any aberration in shape, size and pattern. With such method, no alteration of the karyotype was shown in case of oligodontia.
