title: [Mandibular advancement: osteotomy or distraction osteogenesis? A case report].
abstract: From an experience in osteogenic distraction techniques acquired since 1993 and facing a case of retromandible, the authors have tried to define the criteria leading them to suggest a distraction rather a classical surgical procedure. The selection of the patient is based upon the age, the significance of the advancement, the asymmetry of the advancement and the former existence of a temporomandibular joint degenerative disease. Monitoring the distraction, in particular with per- and post-distraction orthodontics, remains complicated. The overcorrection and the reduction of recurrences after advancement using distraction remain openly discussed.
