Orthognathic Surgical Expansion Procedure Of The Mandible Of Female Baboon Papio Sp?, Willis L. Schlenker
Orthognathic Surgical Expansion Procedure Of The Mandible Of Female Baboon Papio Sp?, Willis L. Schlenker
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Expansion of the maxillae is a well recognized procedure in orthodontics. Little is known about Mandibular Expansion. This project is a pure research of the possibility of expanding the mandible laterally at the symphysis on a baboon.
The symphysis was cut A-P and expanded laterally 11 mm, then held and stabilized with a titanium mesh work screwed to the inferior border of the mandible. The defect area was filled with a bone graft of marrow and cancellous bone fragments taken from the greater trochanter and the crest of the ilium. New bone did fill in the defect and the expansion …

Preparations used in this study were obtained from an investigation which had undertaken the following:
Durapatite, a hydroxylapatite ceramic was implanted in 24 mature Beagle dogs to study its maintenance effect on the alveolar bone of the mandible.
After dividing the dogs into two groups, a fresh socket and a healed socket group, the posterior teeth were removed and alveolectomies were performed. Eight ceramic implants were then placed in the right mandible of each animal in each group. The healed group received the implants five weeks after tooth removal and the fresh socket group received implants immediately after extraction.
The …
