Article Abstract
Objective: This study compares mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) and tracheostomy in managing severe airway obstruction in patients with the Pierre Robin sequence (PRS).
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines was performed. Literature searches were conducted across PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, Scopus, E.B.S.C.O., and Web of Science, including grey literature, covering studies until May 30, 2024. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
Patients: patients with Pierre Robin Sequence.
Interventions: Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) and tracheostomy.
Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcomes included airway management (tracheostomy avoidance for MDO, decannulation for tracheostomy) and feeding outcomes (G-tube placement). Secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay and associated costs.
Results: Thirteen studies were included. MDO and the MDO-first approach demonstrated significantly better airway outcomes (OR = 10.72, 95% CI = 1.97-58.44, p = 0.006; OR = 4.51, 95% CI = 2.61-7.79, p < 0.00001). MDO also reduced the need for G-tube placement (OR = 0.09, 95% CI = 0.04-0.18, p < 0.00001) and lowered hospital costs (MD = -47.90 thousand USD, 95% CI = -59.93 to -35.87, p < 0.0001). A shorter hospital stay was observed but was not statistically significant.
Conclusions: MDO offers better airway outcomes, lower G-tube placement rates, and reduced costs, making it a preferred option. Larger studies within the same syndromic status are needed to minimize confounding factors and validate these findings.

Objective: We designed a new distractor pairing a bioabsorbable upper fixing plate fixed by bioabsorbable screws with a traditional titanium distractor to simplify the second surgery removing the distractor after mandibular distraction osteogenesis. The present study aims to evaluate its biomechanical properties using finite element method.
Materials And Methods: Ten computer-aided designed models simulating mandibles of 5 patients under 2 working conditions, the instance of distraction and mastication, were produced.

Background: Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) remains essential for severe micrognathia correction. The clinical adoption of conventional osteotomy techniques has been constrained by complications including non-union, inferior alveolar nerve injury, and dental germ damage, compounded by suboptimal occlusal relationships and compromised facial aesthetics. Critical considerations in MDO execution encompass neural structure preservation, osteotomy gap integrity, and achieving three-dimensional skeletal augmentation to enhance both functional stability and craniofacial proportions.

Untreated mandibular condyle fractures in childhood can result in significant jaw deformities, such as mandibular retrognathism, open bite, and facial asymmetry, which may necessitate surgical intervention in later years. Surgical approaches vary depending on the severity of the condition, including mandibular surgery alone, maxillomandibular surgery, or mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO). This report highlights a case involving mandibular retrognathism and open bite with condylar dislocation and malunion caused by untreated pediatric condyle fractures.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of teriparatide (TP) in guided bone regeneration (GBR). An electronic search without language or date restrictions was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Scielo, and gray literature for articles published until June 2025. Inclusion criteria considered studies evaluating the effect of TP on bone regeneration, analyzed using SYRCLE's Risk of Bias tool.
