Objectives: Distraction Osteogenesis is an integral part in management of mandibular defects associated with Hemifacial Microsomia (HFM) and post-ankylotic mandibular defects. The most difficult part in distraction osteogenesis is the prediction of distraction vector and risk of injury to vital structures as inferior alveolar. The current study aimed to present Three-Dimensionally Constructed Computer Guided Splints in Distraction Osteogenesis to get an ideal vector and minimal risk of vital structures injury. Methods: The study presents computer-guided distraction osteogenesis surgery using prefabricated splints.
