AbstractMaxillomandibular reconstruction requires bone graft, heavy rigid fixation armamentarium and long hospitalization periods. Even with all this the final outcomes are still unpredictable. Patients treated with transport distraction osteogenesis present a better clinical condition, in terms of osteogenesis & histogenesis - identical to adjoining structures. It also has the benefit of producing a good quality and quantity of bone & mucosa, ideal for placement of osseointegrated implants. Thus, bone transport for maxillomandibular reconstruction has now become a gold standard for functional as well as esthetic reconstruction, offering a long term stability.
