ABSTRACT
A high rate of cleft patients present with maxillary hypoplasia. Most of the growth defects concern the anteroposterior axis of the maxilla. Before bone lengthening by distraction osteogenesis, orthognathic surgery was the only alternative treatment for maxillary hypoplasia. Several studies showed the lack of stability after conventional surgery. In this article reviewing the literature concerning all bone lengthening procedures, the authors discuss published data on maxillary distraction osteogenesis by external and internal devices. Indications of distraction in growing children as an interceptive step are discussed.
