| Abstract: | Maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis surgery involves a distraction segment that is made at the anterior part of the maxilla. Although bending and fitting the distractor during surgery is a complex procedure, we present here a usefulness of the pre-bent distractor made with a 3D model for precise fixing and reducing the operative time. |
