Molar Extraction and Bone Grafting to Optimize Bone Stock for Future Mandibular Distraction by Aaron I. Dadzie, BSA, Sydney Somers, BS, Mitchell Dunklebarger, MD, Laurel Ormiston, MD, Duane Yamashiro, DDS, Barbu Gociman, MD, PhD

“…Shortcomings associated with mandibular distraction are often secondary to lack of adequate bone at the level of the osteotomies, either from insufficient original bone stock or paucity of bone secondary to previous surgical procedures. To address the challenge of limited bone availability at the distraction site, our institution has implemented a stepwise protocol in the patients with severe class II malocclusion and insufficient bone stock at the level of the planned osteotomy. …”
