Acceleration of healing of maxillary and mandibular osteotomies by use of hyperbaric oxygen. A preliminary report.
Thirty-eight osteotomy patients were treated with hyperbaric oxygen in order to determine clinically its effect on the length of osseous healing. Data accumulated from this clinical investigation indicate that hyperbaric oxygen augments clinical bone healing subsequent to osteotomy procedures.
