[Results of the facial skull bone defects and deformations repair by modern methods for plasty and fixation of bone fragments]. / Kliniko-rentgenologicheskii analiz rezul'tatov ustraneniia defectov i deformatsii kostei litsevogo cherepa s ispol'zovaniem sovremennykh sposobov plastiki i fiksatsii kostnykh fragmentov.

Methods of reconstructive maxillofacial operations bringing about the best functional and esthetic results are analyzed. Surgical methods for repair of maxillofacial bone defects and deformations with the use of transplants and different methods of their fixation depending on the tissues at the site of defect (deformation) in patients with acquired and congenital abnormalities of the facial skull have been developed and are used at Central Institute of Dentistry. Osteosynthesis using titanium constructions and compression-distraction devices is acknowledged as an effective method of bone repair operations on the face. It notably reduces the duration of operation and prevents the relapse of the deformation. Analysis was carried out on extensive clinical data (more than 1000 patients), which allowed an objective evaluation of remote results of plastic repair of bones and helped define the indications and contraindications for such operations.

[The results of using a compression-distraction method for eliminating mandibular defects and deformities]. / Rezul'taty ispol'zovaniia komressionno-distraktsionnogo metoda dlia ustraneniia defektov i deformatsii nizhnei cheliusti.

Intraoral supraosseous compression-distraction devices (CDA) have been used for repair of mandibular underdevelopment and defects of different etiology at Central Institute of Stomatology since 1997. The distraction regenerates have been examined by ultrasonography, roentgenography, and echo-osteometry. These methods allow timely correction of the course of distraction and rule out formation of wrong hypotrophic distraction regenerates.
