| Research Abstract |
In this project, a new bone lengthening system was developed for a submerged and an automatic controlled mandibular distraction.
In first term (2000), a automatic distractor was designed, made and tested. An actuator was a small motor with a small gear, and the size of the distractor was 13.75 x 14.1 x 68.75 mm. A control unit was a micro-computer, G8-3048F, Hitachi, Japan. Using a test bed, movement of the distractor was checked and a revision of program was carried out.
In second term (2001), the design of the machine and some components were changed after the animal experiment, and a new version of the device was made for next animal experiment. Many types of distraction speed and rate was performed for a proper speed and rate in mandibular lengthening. Size down and weight down was achieved by smaller flamework and small encorder For electric system, rubber-sealling made the contrail unit to get the perfect cover of the distractor. In new animal experiment using beagle dogs, distraction of mandible was done for 10 mm after 1 week as healing period. Next problems were revealed atter this experiment. An infection to the device and a breakage of miniplate during distraction. Control unit was stable on the animal back with a revised computer program. However, radiographic examination and histological assesment showed a better ossification than hand-driven distraction. In early stage after distraction an angiogenesis was confirmed faster than osteogenesis.
