ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) became an alternative for the treatment of severe craniofacial skeletal dysplasias. The rigid external distraction device (RED) is successfully used to advance the maxilla and all the maxillary-orbital-frontal complex (monobloc) in children, adolescents and adults. This approach provides predictable and stable results, and it can be applied alone or with craniofacial orthognathic surgical procedures.

OBJECTIVE:

In the present article, the technical aspects relevant to an adequate application of the RED will be described, including the planning, surgical and orthodontic procedures.
RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

a Distração Osteogênica (DO) tornou-se uma alternativa para o tratamento das displasias craniofaciais esqueléticas severas. O aparelho distrator externo rígido (RED) é utilizado com êxito para avançar a maxila e todo o complexo maxilar-orbital-frontal (monobloco) em crianças, adolescentes e adultos. Essa abordagem proporciona resultados previsíveis e estáveis, podendo ser aplicada isoladamente ou junto a procedimentos cirúrgicos ortognáticos craniofaciais.

OBJETIVO:

no presente artigo, serão descritos os aspectos técnicos pertinentes a uma adequada aplicação do RED, incluindo o planejamento, procedimentos cirúrgicos e ortodônticos.
