Aim: To propose a anthropometric model allows in a homogenous way to assess the course of patients underwent to mandibular osteogenic distraction. Methods: A prior study was carried out which allow us to confirm the lack of a international protocol generalizing the study and the evaluation of results achieved with the mandibular osteogenic distraction and also allows to assess the long-term skeletal relapse. Measurements elements include the McNamara and Steiner's angular and linear cephalometry studies as well as the Simoes panography. A mathematical model was designed with formulae allowing assessing the distraction achieved in branch and body as well as the effectiveness of treatment and long-term stability. Authors propose also a valuation of occlusal changes obtained. Results: The anthropometry model proposed is a tool to apply the scientific method in the study and the assessment of patients underwent mandibular osteogenic distraction. Conclusions: The anthropometry model proposed is a suitable method to assess in a homogenous way the course of patients underwent mandibular osteogenic distraction.Downloads
