ABSTRACT
By using distraction osteogenesis technique, 3 cases of mandibular hypoplasia were treated by home-made and German-made jaw distractors including one patient suffered from bilateral ankylosis of temporo-mandibular joint and 2 patients from deficiency of mandible. The duration of distraction osteogenesis was one month. The bone distractor was removed 3 months after operation. Satisfactory results were obtained in all 3 cases. Distraction osteogenesis can successfully be used in mandibular functional reconstruction and has much more advantages than traditional technique.
