Giant osteochondroma of the coronoid process.

Osteochondroma or solitary osteocartilagenous exostosis is characterized by cartilage-capped osseous lesion, protruding from the surface of affected bone. It is one of the most common benign bone tumor in axial skeleton and infrequent in maxillofacial skeleton. This paper describes a giant osteochondroma of coronoid process in a 20 year old woman, presented with limited mouth opening (15 mm inter incisal distance) and pain without any facial swelling, asymmetry and TMJ problems.

The biology of distraction osteogenesis for correction of mandibular and craniomaxillofacial defects: A review.

Limb lengthening by distraction osteogenesis was first described in 1905. The technique did not gain wide acceptance until Gavril Ilizarov identified the physiologic and mechanical factors governing successful regeneration of bone formation. Distraction osteogenesis is a new variation of more traditional orthognathic surgical procedure for the correction of dentofacial deformities.
